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
