Oh yes, I'm the great pretender Pretending that I'm doing well My need is such I pretend too much I'm lonely even no one can tell Oh yes, I'm the great pretender A drift 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 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 wearin' my heart like a crown. Pretending that you're still around.
[repeat *]
