      Corinne McKay according to pretty much every source I’ve seen it’s ‘pretend’. Wikipedia says ‘Michelle Phillips wrote the lyrics, "Well, I got down on my knees, and I pretend to pray," but Cass Elliot had been singing "I began to pray" until corrected by Phillips when they were touring. She sang "began" on the original recording.’ The source for that claim being this ruclips.net/video/lZVay1RYazI/видео.html video.

Now days, like a rolling stone, more people are leaving and talking about leaving than ever before. Times they are a changing.

    I'm sure someone answered this already but in case they didn't.... this song came out in either late 1965 or maybe 1966.
    I absolutely love your channel and the fact that you approach music with such an open mind. You remind me of myself with music... you don't care about the genre. If it's good, it's good. And this song is amazing. Hearing you call it a banger warmed my heart. ❤️
