Words and music by buck ram

Oh yes i'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Pretending i'm doing well (ooh ooh)
My need is such i pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes i'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh)
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

Ooh ooh yes i'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what i'm not (you see)
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Yeah ooh hoo
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 (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what i'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're
Pretending that you're still around
