Lyrics:

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (ooh-ooh)
Pretending that 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 (ooh-ooh)
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
(Oh) 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 (ooh-ooh)
Too real is this feeling of make-believe (ooh-ooh)
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal (oh)
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 (still around)
