The Capitol Singles Collection movie - Great Pretender lyrics

rate me

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>

<br>
