The Great Pretender
Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretenderPretending that I'm doing wellMy need is such I pretend too muchI'm lonely but no one can tellOh-oh, yes I'm the great pretenderAdrift in a world of my ownI've played the game but to my real shameYou've left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-believeToo real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Oh yes I'm the great pretenderJust laughin' and gay like a clownI seem to be what I'm not, you seeI'm wearin' my heart like a crownPretending that you're still around
Too real is the feeling of make-believeToo real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Oh yes I'm the great pretenderJust laughin' and gay like a clownI seem to be what I'm not, you seeI'm wearin' this old heart like a crownPretending that you're still around
But I know what I amI am the great pretender
