The Great Pretender

Music & Lyrics by: Buck Ram


Oh yes, Im the great pretender,
Pretending that Im doing well,
My need is such I pretend too much,
I'm lonely but no one can tell.

Oh yes, Im the great pretender,
Adrift in a world of my own,
I play the game but to my real shame,
You left me to dream all alone.

Too real is this feeling of make believe,
Too real when I feel when my heart can't conceive.

Oh, yes, Im the great pretender,
Just laughing and gay like a clown,
I seem to be what Im 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 when my heart can't conceive.

Oh, yes, Im the great pretender,
Just laughing and gay like a clown,
I seem to be what Im not, you see,
I'm wearing my heart like a crown,
Pretending that you're still around.
