The Great Pretender lyrics

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
