Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretendin' that I'm doin' well
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm lonely, but no one can tell
Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game, but to my real shame
You left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real, what I feel, what my heart can't conceal
Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretendin' that you're still around
Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real, what I feel, what my heart can't conceal
Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretendin' that you're still around...
