Dolly Parton - The Great Pretender

The Great Pretender

Oh-oh 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

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I've played the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone

Too real (too real) is this feeling of make-believe
Too real (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 wearin' my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Too real is the feeling of make-believe (you're also real)
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 wearin' this old heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

But I know what I am
I am the great pretender
