(Buck Ram)
Oh yes I'm the great pretender (oooh oooh)
Pretending I'm doing well (oooh oooh)
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no-one can tell

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (oooh oooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (oooh oooh) 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 (make believe)
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Ooh oh yes I'm the great pretender (oooh oooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (oooh oooh)
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 oooh hoo

Too real (real) when I feel (feel) what my heart can't conceal
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown (oooh oooh)
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
