The Great Pretender

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 the game but to my real shame

you've left me to grieve all alone

too real is this feeling of make-believe

too real when i feel what my heart can't conceal

yes i'm the great pretender

just laughin' and gay like a clown

i seem to be what i'm not, you see

i'm wearing my heart like a crown

pretending that you're still around

too real is this feeling of make-believe

too real when i feel what my heart can't conceal

yes i'm the great pretender

just laughin' and gay like a clown

i seem to be what i'm not, you see

i'm wearing my heart like a crown

pretending that you're still around
