Biography:
The Pretenders is an English-American rock band founded in Hereford, United Kingdom that came to prominence during the punk and new wave movement of the late 1970s due to their innovative songwriting and charismatic performances. Since then, the band has experienced drug-related losses and numerous subsequent personnel changes, with American-born group founder, songwriter, vocalist, and rhythm guitarist Chrissie Hynde as the only consistent member.

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me!
[Verse 1]
Em7 F#m7 Em7
J'ai les glandes with your theatrics, your acting's a drag,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
It's okay on T.V., 'cause you can turn it off, but don't try me,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Yes, your marriage is a tragedy, but it's not my concern,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
I am very superficial, I hate anything official!
[Chorus]
Em7 F#m7 Em7
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,
(You've been lying to someone about me! ...Stop!)

Your private life drama, baby, leave me out,

No, sentimental gestures only bore me to death,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
You've made a desperate appeal, now save your breath,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
At - tachment to obligation through guilt & regret, shit, that's so wet,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations!

Em7 F#m7 Em7
You asked me for advice, I said, "Use the door!",
Em7 F#m7 Em7
But you're still clinging to some - body you deplore,

And now you want to use me for emotional blackmail,
Em7 F#m7 Em7
I just feel pity when you lie, con - tempt when you cry!
