Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)   Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh)   My need is such I pretend too much   I'm lonely but no one can tell      Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)   Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh)   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      Ooh Ooh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)   Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)   I seem to be what I'm not (you see)   I'm wearing my heart like a crown   Pretending that you're still around      Yeah ooh hoo   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 (ooh ooh)   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
