(Buck Ram)
|
Oh-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-oh, yes 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
|
|
Yes, I'm the great pretender
|
Just laughin' 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 laughin' 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
