Oh-oh, yes I? the great pretender
Pretending that I? doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I? lonely but no one can tell
Oh-oh, yes I? the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I?e played the game but to my real shame
You?e left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can? conceal
Oh yes I? the great pretender
Just laughin?and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I? not, you see
I? wearin' my heart like a crown
Pretending that you?e still around
Too real is the feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can? conceal
Oh yes I? the great pretender
Just laughin?and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I? not, you see
I? wearin' this old heart like a crown
Pretending that you?e still around
But I know what I am
I am the great pretender
Pretending that I? doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I? lonely but no one can tell
Oh-oh, yes I? the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I?e played the game but to my real shame
You?e left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can? conceal
Oh yes I? the great pretender
Just laughin?and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I? not, you see
I? wearin' my heart like a crown
Pretending that you?e still around
Too real is the feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can? conceal
Oh yes I? the great pretender
Just laughin?and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I? not, you see
I? wearin' this old heart like a crown
Pretending that you?e still around
But I know what I am
I am the great pretender
