The Great Pretender

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 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 laughin?and gay like a clown
I seem to be what i?m not, you see
I?m wearin' my heart like a crown
Pretending that you?re still around

Too real is the feeling of make-believe
Too real when i feel what my heart can?t conceal

Oh 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 wearin' this old heart like a crown
Pretending that you?re still around

But i know what i am
I am the great pretender
