The Great Pretender

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
