![]() Tekst en muziek: Buck Ram (1955) ![]() Oh-oh yes, I’m the great pretender Ohoho Pretending that I’m doing well Ohoho My need is such, I pretend too much I’m lonely, but no one can tell Oh-oh yes, I’m the great pretender Ohoho Adrift in a world of my own Ohoho 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 Ohoho Too real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal Ohohohohohohohoho Yes, I’m the great pretender Ohoho Just laughin’ and gay like a clown Ohoho I seem to be what I’m not, you see I’m wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you’re still around Ohoho Too real is this feeling of make-believe Ohoho Too real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal Ohohohohohohohoho Yes, I’m the great pretender Ohoho Just laughin’ and gay like the clown Ohoho 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 ![]() |
