The Great Pretender

Oh yes I'm the great pretender
(Ooh, ooh)
Pretending 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

Ooh, ooh 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

Yeah, ooh hoo
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
(Ooh, ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're, pretending that you're still around
