Intro

    
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender 
Pretending I'm doing well 
My need is such, I pretend too much 
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender, 
Adrift in a world of my own 
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
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender 
Just laughing 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 when I feel what my heart can't conceal 
(everything moves up 1/2 step)
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender 
Just laughing 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 ... Pretending that ...
Pretending that you're... still around...
