Please help me find this song # 2

[Engle]

It's a song I heard (70's perhaps) about a woman who begs the man she loves to return that love. She knows he does'nt love her, but is desperate and asks him to at least pretend they're in love.

One line I can remember is :
" lets pretend we're in love, even though it's a lie "

Anyone know this song ?
It's a sad tear-jerker, slow, haunting, melodious.

[David Cain]

Is this it?

Let's Pretend - Lulu

I only live because you love me
I'd die the day you say goodbye
I wanna hear you say you love me
Even though it's a lie

Let's pretend
Things are like they were before the end
Let's pretend
We're still lovers and not just friend

Trick my mind with a light on your lips
Fool my feeling with your fingertips
Cheat my soul with a promise you'll break
Keep me dreaming I don't want to wake
And let's pretend, let's pretend

I'm only happy when you're near me
And if you haven't learned it by now
It doesn't matter if you love me
I've got to have you somehow

Let's pretend
Things are like they were before the end
Let's pretend
We're still lovers and not just friend

Trick my mind with a light on your lips
Fool my feeling with your fingertips
Cheat my soul with a promise you'll break
Keep me dreaming I don't want to wake
And let's pretend, let's pretend
Let's pretend, let's pretend, let's pretend

[Engle]

That's it, that's it. That's the song I've been looking for.
You're a genius David.
Amazing in this day and age how any question, no matter how trivial, can be answered.
