Oh-oh, yes i'm the great pretender Pretending that i'm doing well My need is such i pretend too much I'm lonely but no one can tell Oh-oh, yes i'm the great pretender Adrift in a world of my own I've played the game but to my real shame You've left me to dream all alone Too real is this feeling of make-believe Too real when 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 wearin' my heart like a crown Pretending that you're still around Too real is the feeling of make-believe Too real when 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 wearin' this old heart like a crown Pretending that you're still around But i know what i am I am the great pretender
