Lyrics

Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender Pretending I'm doing well My need is such I pretend too much I'm lonely but 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'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 what I'm not, you see I'm wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you're still around Yeah, oh... Too real when I feel what 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 not you see I'm wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you're Pretending that you're still around
