And I can't stop thinking about you You never go on till I do I can't stop thinking about you And I fall asleep and dream of alternate realities And I put myself at ease by pretending that she still loves me All alone in my room think of you at a rate

Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh) I'm wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you're still around Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh) My need is

I still really really love you Love is stronger than pride I won't pretend that I intend to stop living I won't pretend I'm good at forgiving But I can't hate you Though I have tried Although I have tried Mm mm mm mm mm

Oh-oh, yes I'm the great pretender Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal Oh yes I'm the great pretender Just laughin' and gay like a clown I seem to be what I'm not, you see Pretending that you're still around Pretending that I'm doing well My
