The Great Pretender (Original 1987 Extended Version)
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 (make believe) Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal Ooh oh 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 (real) when I feel (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
