The Great Pretender — The Band

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 yes, I'm the great pretender Adrift in a world of my own I play the game, but to my real shame You 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

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 believe 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 I seem to be what I'm not, you see I'm wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you're still around
