Oh yes I'm the great pretender

Pretending that I'm doin' well

My need is suchI pretend too much

I'm lonelybut 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 alone

Too real is this feelin' of make believe

Too real what I feelwhat 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 notyou see

I'm wearing my heart like a crown

Pretending that you're still around

Too real is this feelin' of make believe

Too real what I feelwhat my heart can't conceal

Oh yes I'm the great pretender

Pretending that you're still around

Pretending that you're still around

Pretending that you're still around
