Lyrics:

Oh-oh, yes im the great pretender
Pretending that im doing well
My need is such i pretend too much
Im lonely but no one can tell
Oh-oh, yes im the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
Ive played the game but to my real shame
Youve left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when i feel what my heart cant conceal

Oh yes im the great pretender
Just laughin?and gay like a clown
I seem to be what im not, you see
Im wearin' my heart like a crown
Pretending that youre still around

Too real is the feeling of make-believe
Too real when i feel what my heart cant conceal

Oh yes im the great pretender
Just laughin?and gay like a clown
I seem to be what im not, you see
Im wearin' this old heart like a crown
Pretending that youre still around

But i know what i am
I am the great pretender
