Title : The Great Pretender

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.

<Music>

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 grieve all alone.

<Music>

Too real is this feeling

of make-believe.

Too real when I feel

what my heart can't conceal.

{ Oh, oh oh 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 wearing my heart

like a crown.

Pretending that you're

still around.

{ Woo woo woo... }

Too real is this feeling

of make-believe.

Too real when I feel

what my heart can't conceal.

{ Oh, oh oh 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 wearing my heart

like a crown.

Pretending that you're

still around.

{ Still around. }
