The Great Pretender

Oh-oh, oh yeah 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-oh, oh yeah I’m the great pretender,
Adrift in a world of my own.
I’ve played the game but to my real shame,
You’ve left me to grieve all alone.

Too real is this feeling of make-believe,
Too real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal:
Love! Love!

Oh-oh, oh yeah I’m the great pretender,
Just laughin’ and gay like a clown.
I seem to be what I’m not, you’ll see.
I’m wearing my heart like a crown.

Too real is this feeling of make-believe,
Too real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal,
Love! Love!

Oh-oh, oh yeah I’m the great pretender,
Just laughin’ and gay like a clown.
I seem to be what I’m not, you’ll see.
I’m wearing my heart like a crown.

Pretending that you’re still around.
