Platters - The Great Pretender lyrics

rate me

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'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
