Freddie Mercury

There must be more to life than this
How do we cope in a world without love
Mending all those broken hearts
And tending to those crying faces
There must be more to life than living
There must be more to life than meets the eyes

You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong
You know what's going on
But it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all
It seems that we've all got our backs against the wall.

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

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
Pretending that you're...
Pretending that you're still around.
