The Great Pretender feat Paul Shaffer, Danny B. Harvey & Adam Hamilton Songtext
von Ann‐Margret

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

Mmm, 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 grim 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, just like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I′m wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending 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
Oh, just laughing, laughing 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
