The Great Pretender lyrics

Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender;

Pretend that I'm doing 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'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 laughing again, 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 when I feel what my heart can't conceal...

Oh, yes! I'm the great pretender!

Just laughing again, 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...

Pretending that you're still around!!!...
