Oh yes I'm the great pretender (oooh oooh) Pretending I'm doing well (oooh oooh) My need is such I pretend too much I'm lonely but no-one can tell
Oh yes I'm the great pretender (oooh oooh) Adrift in a world of my own (oooh oooh) 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 Oooh oooh yes I'm the great pretender (oooh oooh) Just laughing and gay like a clown (oooh oooh) 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 oooh 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 (oooh oooh) 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
