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 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 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 wearing
my heart
like a crown
pretending
that you're still around
Too real is this feeling
of make believe
too real when I feel
what my heart
can't conceal...
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
pretending
that you're still a.....round
