Lyrics:

Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
I need you such, I can tell to much
I'm lonely, but no one can tell
Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender
A drift in a world of my own
I play the game, but tonight real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
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 laughing and gay as a clown
But I seem to be what I'm not
You see, I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
