The Great Pretender lyrics

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 (ooooh-ooooh) 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 (ooooh)
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...
