do you wander through this life

like a child without a care

do you feel the things you love

do you see the things you feel

when the world comes crashing down,

you just smile and say



I am the great pretender, oh yeah

willing to dream forever

oh I just float away and let waves *keep* pulling me in

I'll just take out here and watch the world, pass over my head

because I still belive in,

all of the things you say

oh-ho, all of the things you say



while you're searching for the truth,

but all you come across is lies

someone savetaged you're room

with all the answers in disguise

when the world comes crashing down,

you just smile and say



I am the great pretender, oh yeah

willing to dream forever

oh, I just float away and let waves *keep* pulling me in

I'll just take out here and watch the world, pass over my head

because I still belive in,

all of the things you say

oh-ho yeah



why, do I, try

o-oh, why, do I, try

yeah, why, do I, try



I am the great pretender, oh yeah

willing to dream forever, oh right now

I say, I am the great,

I am the great.

I am the great pretender,

but oh, I just float away and let waves *keep* pulling me in

I'll just take out here and watch the world, pass over my head

because I still belive in,

all of the things you say

yeah, yeah, oh right now

I say I am the great pretender,

yeah, you know that, 

I am the great pretender,

yeah you know what I'm saying,

I still belive in all of the things you say,

oh-ho, all of the things you say
