Oh-oh, Yes I'm The Great Pretender
Pretending That I'm Doing Well
My Need Is Such I Pretend Too Much
I'm Lonely But No One Can Tell

Oh-oh, Yes I'm The Great Pretender
Adrift In A World Of My Own
I've Played The Game But To My Real Shame
You've Left Me To Grieve All Alone

Too Real Is This Feeling Of Make-believe
Too Real When I Feel What My Heart Can't Conceal

Yes I'm The Great Pretender
Just 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

Too Real Is This Feeling Of Make-believe
Too Real When I Feel What My Heart Can't Conceal

Yes I'm The Great Pretender
Just 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
