Oh yes, I`m the great pretender (Woo-woo)
Pretending I`m doing well (Woo-woo)
My need is such I pretend too much
I`m lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes, I`m the great pretender (woo-woo)
Adrift in a world of my own (woo-woo)
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

Oh yes, I`m the great pretender (Woo-woo)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (Woo-woo)
I seem to be what I`m not (You see)
I`m wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you`re still around

Yeah! Ooh-ooh!
Too real when I feel
What my heart can`t conceal, oh

Oh yes, I`m the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown (Woo-woo)
I seem to be what I`m not, you see
I`m wearing my heart like a crown

Pretending that you`re
Pretending that you`re still around
