The Great Pretender (cover version)

Singer: Freddie Mercury (originally The Platters)
Written by: Buck Ram
Album: Freddie Mercury Album

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 believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh, 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
Pretend that you're still around

Yeah, yeah
Too real when I feel what my heart can't 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
Pretend that you're
Pretend that you're still around...
