The Great Pretender Lyrics

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

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (Ooh, ooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (Ooh, ooh)
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

Ooh, ooh yes, I'm the great pretender (Ooh, ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (Ooh, ooh)
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, ooh, hoo
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 (Ooh, ooh)
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
