O-h, yes I'm the great pre-tender, (ooh, ooh).
Pre-tending that I'm doing well, (ooh, ooh).
My need is such I pre-tend too much.
I'm lonely but no one can tell.
O-h, yes I'm the great pre-tender, (ooh, ooh).
A-drift in a world of my own, (ooh, ooh).
I play the game but to my real shame.
You've left me to dream all a-lone, (ooh, ooh).
Too real is this fee-ling of make be-lieve,
(ooh, ooh).
Too real when I feel what my heart can't con-ceal.
(O-h, o-h, o-h), yes I'm the great pre-tender, (ooh, ooh).
Just laugh-ing and gay like a clown, (ooh, ooh).
I seem to be what I'm not you see.
I'm wearing my heart like a crown.
Pre-tending that you're still a-round, (ooh, ooh).
Too real is this fee-ling of make be-lieve,
(ooh, ooh).
Too real when I feel what my heart can't con-cea - l.
VERSE 4 + OUTRO:
(O-h, o-h, o-h), yes I'm the great pre-tender, (ooh, ooh).
Just laugh-ing and gay like a clown, (ooh, ooh).
