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-belief
|
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-belief
|
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
|
