The Great Pretender

The Great Pretender - The Platters

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

Ooh hoo

Too real is this feeling

Of make believe

Ooh ooh

Too real when I feel

What my heart can't conceal

Oh 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

Still around
