| Trying hard to convince himself
|
| He’s the best you’ve ever seen
|
| The only one believing it is he
|
| Take a look behind his eyes
|
| You’ll begin to understand
|
| Illusion masks his insecurities
|
| You gotta let him fall
|
| With his back against the wall
|
| He’s a great, the great pretender
|
| (The cardinal sin)
|
| No, he’ll never surrender
|
| (He'll never let you win)
|
| The great, th great pretendr
|
| (Fighting doubts within)
|
| Just sit back enjoy the show
|
| With the great pretender
|
| Trying hard to out fool the world
|
| With his bold chicanery
|
| Deception to the point of being obscene
|
| Oh yeah
|
| Eliminate his mock facade
|
| You begin to realize
|
| Delusion buries inability
|
| You gotta let him fall
|
| When the writing’s on the wall
|
| He’s a great, the great pretender
|
| (The cardinal sin)
|
| No, he’ll never surrender
|
| (He'll never let you win)
|
| The great, the great pretender
|
| (Fighting doubts within)
|
| Just sit back enjoy the show
|
| With the great pretender
|
| He’s a great, the great pretender
|

|
| No, he’ll never surrender
|
