(slow rock)
I. OH 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
II. OH OH YES I'M THE GREAT PRETENDER
A DRIFT IN A WORLD OF MY OWN
I PLAY THE GAME BUT TO MY REAL SHAME
YOU'VE LEFT ME TO DREAM ALL ALONE
TOO REAL IS THIS FEELING OF MAKE BELIEVE
TOO REAL WHEN I FEEL WHAT MY HEART CAN'T CONCEAL
III. OH 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
