The Platters
The Great Pretender
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 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 let 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 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 is this feeling
of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
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
