The Great Pretender Songtext
von Bobby Vinton

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

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game; but to my real shame
You 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


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

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
{Still around}
