The Great Pretender
Lyrics and Music: Ram

 

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.

Laughing out loud 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.

Adrift in a world of my own.

I play the game but to my real shame you've left me to dream on my own.

Pretending that I'm not alone.

 

To be free!

 

Ooh!

 

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.

Pretending that I'm doing well.

My need is such I pretend too much.

I'm lonely but no-one can tell.

I'm lonely but no-one can tell.

 

I'm still pretending.

 

Yeah!
