The Great Pretender

忘記這首好歌好久好久了
最近, VW的廣告喚起記憶
第一次聽到..........好像是國中的事情吧
當時就自我期許要以真我來面對這個世界
誰知, 成功者多能隱藏最弱最不應表現的一面
所以.........某些角度來看, 我並不成功
但是.........回想當年的期許
我算是成功了

面對生活
真要有那麼多的偽裝嗎



The Great Pretender
The Platters

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh)
I play the game but to my real shame
You left me to dream all alone (ooh ooh)

Too real is this feeling of make believe (ooh ooh)
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Ooh Ooh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around (ooh ooh)

Too real is this feeling of make believe (ooh ooh)
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Ooh Ooh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
