Oh yes, I'm the great pretender<br>
Pretending that I'm doing well<br>
My need is such; I pretend too much<br>
I'm lonely but no one can tell.<br>
<br>
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender<br>
A drift in a world of my own<br>
I play the game; but to my real shame<br>
You've let me to dream all alone.<br>
<br>
Too real is this feeling of make believe<br>
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.<br>
<br>
Oh yes I'm the great pretender<br>
Just laughing and gay like a clown<br>
I seem to be what I'm not; you see<br>
I'm wearing my heart like a crown<br>
Pretending that you're still around.<br>
<br>
Too real is this feeling of make believe<br>
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal<br>
<br>
Yes I'm the great pretender<br>
Just laughing and gay like a clown<br>
I seem to be what I'm not you see<br>
I'm wearing my heart like a crown<br>
Pretending that you're still around<br>
