Medieval Times (great Pretender) Lyrics - Singles - Cee-lo

Well, I'm a species so rare, the human eyes hardly seen 

A thin line between divine and killing machine 

A dark side of the light that no one ever should see 

Oh, I feel for the foolish for fucking with me 

There's a war inside me but the water is still 

You'll be safer every time assuming it will 

Yet to lose my composure, I don't normally do 

I just thought that you should know I've been sicker than you 

You don't know me, no record can't tell ya 

Oh oh, I'm the great pretender 

I said you don't know me, no record can't tell ya 

Oh oh, I'm the great pretender 

You say you want my pain, my own personal pain 

A lot of hurt, heartache and hard times, it's hard to explain 

I could feel the anger starting to happen again 

I'd bust your head and break your brain for five minutes of fame 

My heart beats with unconditional love 

But beware of the blackness that it's capable of 

Oh yeah, oh yeah 

You got to travel the road of a troubled soul 

I'm tryin' so hard not to lose control 

Oh yeah, oh yeah 

You don't know me, no record can't tell ya 

Oh oh, I'm the great pretender, some great pretender 

I said you don't know me, no record can't tell ya 

Oh oh, I'm the great pretender, some great pretender 

They say, "In life you shouldn't worry 

Just got to let the wind blow", hey 

You see every day I'm strugglin' 

For the strength to let it go, hey 

You don't know me 

(No record can't tell ya) 

You don't know me 

I'm tryin' so hard 

Said you don't know, oh oh, oh oh 

Said you don't know me 

No record can't tell ya 

I'm the great, I'm the great pretender 

I said you don't know me 

I'm the great pretender 

Said you don't know 

No record can't tell ya 

Oh oh, I'm the great pretender 

I'm the great pretender 

You don't know me 

No record can't tell ya 

Oh oh, I'm the great pretender 

I said you don't know me
