Mercury Freddie The Great Pretender Buck Ram lyrics

Oh yes, I`m the great pretender
Pretending I`m doing well
My need is such
I pretend too much
I`m lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes, I`m the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
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 yes, I`m the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I`m not you see
I`m wearing my heart like a crown

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
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

Produced by Freddie Mercury, Mike Moran and David Richards

Original version from Irwin Winkler`s film `Night and The City`
