Lyrics
i play the game but to my real shame
just laughing and gay like a clown
my need is such i pretend too much
Pretending i m doing well, what my heart can t conceal Freddie, pretending i m doing well
I m lonely but no one can tell, oh yes i m the great pretender
I m the great pretender, yeah oh too real when i feel
Adrift in a world of my own, i play the game but to my real shame, yeah oh too real when i feel
I seem to be what i m not you see, just laughing and gay like a clown
i m the great pretender
i seem to be what i m not you see
yeah oh too real when i feel
I play the game but to my real shame, i m wearing my heart like a crown
just laughing and gay like a clown
Too real when i feel what my heart can t conceal, what my heart can t conceal, too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real is this feeling of make believe, i m the great pretender, what my heart can t conceal
I seem to be what i m not you see, adrift in a world of my own, too real when i feel what my heart can t conceal
What my heart can t conceal, pretending that you re still around Pretender, pretending that you re still around
i m the great pretender
oh yes i m the great pretender
Too real when i feel what my heart can t conceal, you ve left me to dream all alone, i m the great pretender
I m wearing my heart like a crown, i m lonely but no one can tell, adrift in a world of my own
What my heart can t conceal, my need is such i pretend too much
Too real when i feel what my heart can t conceal, you ve left me to dream all alone
I seem to be what i m not you see, just laughing and gay like a clown Mercury, i play the game but to my real shame
Just laughing and gay like a clown, adrift in a world of my own
too real is this feeling of make believe
Oh yes i m the great pretender, oh yes i m the great pretender
Oh yes i m the great pretender, oh yes i m the great pretender
too real when i feel what my heart can t conceal
Pretending that you re still around, pretending that you re still around
I m wearing my heart like a crown, you ve left me to dream all alone, you ve left me to dream all alone
oh yes i m the great pretender
Oh yes i m the great pretender, i m the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own, yeah oh too real when i feel
Just laughing and gay like a clown, i m wearing my heart like a crown Freddie, oh yes i m the great pretender
I m the great pretender, too real is this feeling of make believe
I m wearing my heart like a crown, just laughing and gay like a clown, too real when i feel what my heart can t conceal
I m the great pretender, adrift in a world of my own, adrift in a world of my own
Too real is this feeling of make believe, i seem to be what i m not you see, i m lonely but no one can tell
I m lonely but no one can tell, what my heart can t conceal
