"The Great Pretender" lyrics

The Great Pretender

Oh, yes
I'm the great
Pretender
Pretending that I'm
Doing well
I need you such
I pretend too much
I'm lonely
But no one can tell

Oh, yes
I'm the great
Pretender
Adrift in a world
Of my own
I seem to be
What I'm not
You see
I'm lonely
But no one can tell

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 seem to be
What I'm not
You see
I'm wearing
My heart
As a crown
Pretending
That you're
Still around
Still around
