Lyrics The Great Pretender (Live) - Rod Stewart

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretendin' that I'm doin' well
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm lonely, but no one can tell

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Laughing out loud like a clown
I seem to be, what I'm not you see
I'm wearin' my heart like a clown
Pretendin' that you're still around

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
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game, but to my real shame
You'd left me to dream on my own
Pretending that I'm not 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
Pretendin' that I'm doin' well
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
I'm lonely but no one can tell

I'm still pretendin'
