The Great Pretender

The Great Pretender - Sam Cooke (山姆·库克)/Buck Ram

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've left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make-belief

Too real when I feel what my heart can conceal

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

Too real is this feeling of make-belief

Too real when I feel what my heart can conceal

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
