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
Adrift 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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
