Lyrics - The Great Pretender by Platters

Oh-oh, yes
I'm the great pretender
Pretending that
I'm doing well
My need is such
I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh-oh, yes
I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I've played the game but to my real shame
You've left me to grieve all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when
I feel what my heart can't conceal
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
Pretending that you're still around
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when
I feel what my heart can't conceal
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
Pretending that you're still around
