The Great Pretender Lyrics

Oh yes, i’m the great pretender
Pretending that i’m going well
My need is such; i pretend too much
I’m lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes, i’m the great pretender
A drift in a world of my own
I play the game; but to my real shame
You’ve let 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 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 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
