Great pretender lyrics
by Freddy Mercury



Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (Ooohooo, ooohooo)
Pretending I'm doing well (Ooohooo, ooohooo)
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no-one can tell

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (Ooohooo, ooohooo)
Adrift in a world of my own (Ooohooo, ooohooo)
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 am the great pretender (Ooohooo, ooohooo)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (Ooohooo, ooohooo)
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Yeaheaheah
Ooohooo!
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 (Ooohooo, ooohooo)
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're
Pretending that you're still around
