Oh yes i'm the great pretender
Pretending 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 alone
Too real is this feelin' of make believe
Too real what i feel, what my heart can't conceal
Oh yes i'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what i'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Too real is this feelin' of make believe
Too real what i feel, what my heart can't conceal
Oh yes i'm the great pretender
Pretending that you're still around
Pretending that you're still around
Pretending that you're still around
