Lyrics - The Great Pretender by Queen

Words and music by buck ram
Oh yes
I’m the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Pretending
I’m doing well (ooh ooh)
My need is such
I pretend too much
I’m lonely but no one can tell
Oh yes
I’m the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh)
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
Ooh ooh yes
I’m the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
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 hoo
Too real when
I feel what my heart can’t conceal
Oh yes
I’m the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
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
