California dreamin'

Stopped into a church,
I passed along the way,
Well, I got down on my knees,
And I (......) to pray,

I had a debate with a friend about this lyric and I'm curious what other people think it is. So is it 'began' or 'pretend'?

'Began' 22
'Pretend' 15

    Pretend. It does sound like it could be either but...

  • "pretend".

    The guy went into the church to get out of the cold. Not because he's religious, but because he went for a walk to contemplate telling "her" then got a little too chilly.

    oh that's easy; began.
    come back to me with the lyrics to nirvana's tourettes
    I'm still scratching my head.

    Began. One would only pretend if they felt self-conscious. In most cases, that is.

    I prefer 'pretend' cos I like the feeling of that better,
    I 'began' to pray is very obvious,
    But i 'pretend' has more depth to it

    And its hard to tell from listening to the song. I suspect there are different versions with either. Thanks for replying cats.

    Maybe, "pretend". There are sites that provide song lyrics, but sometimes these "lyrics" aren't 100% correct.
