The Great Pretender

The Great Pretender - Jimmy Parkinson

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

Yes I'm the great pretender

A drift in a world of my own

I've played the game

But to my real shame

I left here 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
