Lyrics:

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender,
Pretending I'm doing well.
My need is such, I pretend too much.
I'm lonely but no one can tell.

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender,
Adrift in a world of my own.
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.

Oh-oh yes, I'm the great pretender,
Just laughing 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.

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.
I seem to be what I'm not you see.
I'm wearing my heart like a crown,
Pretending that you're,
Pretending that you're still around.....

Oh yes...
