The Great Pretender
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretendin 'I'm doin' well
My need is such
I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell 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 wearing my heart like a crown
[refrão]
I play the game
But, to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
