The Great Pretender (Freddie Mercury)

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender, pretendin' I'm doin' well,
My need is such, I pretend too much, I'm lonley but no one can tell.

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender, a drift 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 the feeling of make - make believe -,
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal.

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender, just laughin' and gay like a clown,
I seem to be what I'm not, you see, I'm wearing my heart like a crown,
Pretendin' that you're still aroun'.

Yeah,... ooh, too real when I feel what ma heart can't conceal.

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender, just laughin' and gay like a clown,
I seem to be what I'm not, you see, I'm wearing my heart like a crown,
Pretendin' that you're, pretendin' that you're still aroun'.
