Lyrics
Oh-oh, yes, I’m the great pretenderPretending that I’m doing well My need is such, I pretend too much I’m lonely, but no one can tellOh-oh, yes, I’m the great pretenderAdrift in a world of my own I played the game but to my real shame You’ve left me to grieve all aloneToo real is this feeling of make-believeToo real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)Yes, I’m the great pretenderJust 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 aroundToo real is this feeling of make-believeToo real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)Yes, I’m the great pretenderJust 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)
