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