The Platters – The great pretender
The Platters – The great pretender
Oh-oh, yes, I’m the great pretenderPretending that I’m doing wellMy need is such, I pretend too muchI’m lonely, but no one can tell
Oh-oh, yes, I’m the great pretenderAdrift in a world of my ownI played the game but to my real shameYou’ve left me to grieve all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-believeToo real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yes, I’m the great pretenderJust laughin’ and gay like a clownI seem to be what I’m not, you seeI’m wearing my heart like a crownPretending that you’re still around
Too real is this feeling of make-believeToo real when I feel what my heart can’t conceal(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yes, I’m the great pretenderJust laughin’ and gay like a clownI seem to be what I’m not, you seeI’m wearing my heart like a crownPretending that you’re still around(Still around)
