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 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 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
