Oh yes, I'm the great pre-ten-der
Pre-tend-ing I'm do-ing well
My need is such; I pre-tend too much
I'm lone-ly but no one can tell.
Oh yes, I'm the great pre-ten-der
A drift in a world of my own
I play the game; but to my real shame
You've let me to dream all a-lone.
Too real is this feel-ing of make be-lieve
Too real when I feel
what my heart can't con-ceal.
Oh yes I'm the great pre-ten-der
Just laugh-ing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not; you see
I'm wear-ing my heart like a crown
Pre-tend-ing that you're still a-round.
