I'm the great pretender 
Pretending I'm doing well 
My need is such
I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no-one can tell

I'm the great pretender 
Adrift 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 laughing and gay like a clown 
I seem to be what I'm not you see 
I'm wearing my heart like a clown
Pretend that you're still around

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 clown
Pretend that you're
Pretend that you're still around
