Great Pretender

Ooh, yes, 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

Ooh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Adrift in the world of my home
I play the game but to my real shame
You left me all alone

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Ooh, 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 crown
Pretending that you're still around
