The Great Pretender Songtext
von Roy Orbison

Oh-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

Oh-oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I've played the game but to my real shame
You′ve left me to grieve all alone

Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can′t conceal


Oh-oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin′ 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 is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can′t conceal

Oh-oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' 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
