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 believe
Too real when
I feel what
my heart can't
conceal
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
Yeah ooh hoo
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
