[Verse 1]
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Pretending I'm doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

[Verse 2]
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 all alone

[Bridge]
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

[Outro]
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
