The Great Pretender (Live 1982)

The Great Pretender (Live 1982) - Rod Stewart

Oh yes I'm the great pretender

Pretendin' that I'm doin' well

My need is such

I pretend too much

I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes I'm the great pretender

Laughing out loud like a clown

I seem to be what I'm not you see

I'm wearin' my heart like a clown

Pretendin' that you're still around

Too real is this feeling

Of make believe

Too real when I feel

What my heart can't conceal

Oh yes I'm the great pretender

Adrift in a world of my own

I play the game

But to my real shame

You'd left me to dream on my own

Pretending that I'm not alone

Too real is this feeling

Of make believe

Too real when I feel

What my heart can't conceal

Ooh yes

I'm the great pretender

Pretendin' that I'm doin' well

My need is such

I pretend too much

I'm lonely but no one can tell

I'm lonely but no one can tell

I'm still pretendin' yeah
