The Great Pretender

Queen · Platinum Collection 1-3 [2001]

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh ooh)

Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh ooh)

My need is such

I pretend too much

I'm lonely but no-one can tell



Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh ooh)

Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh ooh)

I play the game

But to my real shame

You've left me to dream all alone



Too real is this feeling of make (make believe) believe

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



Oh oh, yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh ooh)

Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh ooh)

I seem to be what I'm not you see (ooh you see)

I'm wearing my heart like a clown

Pretend that you're still around

Yeah-eah, wooh hoo



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



Oh yes I'm the great pretender

Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh ooh)

I seem to be what I'm not you see

I'm wearing my heart like a clown

Pretend that you're

Pretend that you're still around
