Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretendin' 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
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be
What I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
I play the game
But, to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
Pretendin' 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
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be
What I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
I play the game
But, to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
