The Great Pretender Lyrics - Roy Orbison

Buck Ram 

Oh-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-oh, yes I'm the great pretender 

Adrift in a world of my own 

I've played the game but to my real shame 

You've left me to grieve all alone

Too real is this feeling of make-believe 

Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal 

Yes I'm the great pretender 

Just laughin' and gay 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

Yes I'm the great pretender 

Just laughin' and gay 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
