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 yes, I'm the great pretender
A drift in a world of my own

I play the game; but to my real shame
You've let 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 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.

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 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
