The Platters Lyrics
The Great Pretender

Oh-oh, yes, I'm the great pretender.
(Ooo-ooo-oooo.)
Pretending that I'm doing well.
(Ooo-ooo-oooo.)
My need is such I pretend too much.
I'm lonely but no one can tell.

Oh-oh, yes, I'm the great pretender.
(Ooo-ooo-oooo.)
Adrift in a world of my own.
(Ooo-ooo-oooo.)
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.
(Ooo-ooo-oooo.)
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)

Yes! I'm the great pretender.
(Ooo-ooo-oooo.)
Just laughin' and gay like a clown.
(Ooo-ooo-oooo.)
I seem to be what I'm not, you see,
I'm wearing my heart like a crown.
Pretending that you're still around.
(Ooo-ooo-oooo.)

Too real is this feeling of make-believe.
(Ooo-ooo-oooo.)
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)

Yes! I'm the great pretender.
(Ooo-ooo-oooo.)
Just laughin' and gay like a clown.
(Ooo-ooo-oooo.)
I seem to be what I'm not, you see,
I'm wearing my heart like a crown.
Pretending that you're still around.
(Still around.)
