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
