Oh yes, oh yes
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
Ooooh 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'
Yeah
