The Great Pretender Lyrics

Oh-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-oh, yes I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I've played a game but to my real shame
You've left 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-oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be but I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Oh-oh-oh yes I'm the great pretender (Ooh-ooh)
Pretending that I'm doing well (Ooh-ooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh-oh yes I'm the great pretender (Ooh-ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (Ooh-ooh)
I seem to be but I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Still around
