The Great Pretender Songtext
von The Band

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 yes, I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game, but to my real shame
You 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 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
