Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] Too real is this feeling of make-believe Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] Yeah! Ooh-ooh! Too real when I feel What my heart can't conceal, oh [Verse 4] 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 [Outro] Pretending that you're Pretending that you're still around
