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 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 (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
