Oh yes I'm the great Pretender (ooh ooh)
Pretending that I'm doing well (ooh ooh)
My need is such, I pretend too much,
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh)
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 (Ooo Ooo Ooo)
yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around (ooh ooh)
Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart
can't conceal (Ooo Ooo Ooo)
Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
(still around)
