(Intro)

1. Strophe:
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.

2. Strophe:
Oh Yes, I'm The Great Pretender.
I Drift 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.

3. Strophe:
Oh Yes, I'm The Great Pretender.
Just Laughing 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.

(Bridge)

(3. Strophe)

Dextro:
Pretending That You're Still Around.
(Still Around)
