Roy Orbison - The Great Pretender Lyrics
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
Adrift in a world of my own
I've played the game but to my real shame
You've left me to grieve all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
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
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' 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 still around

Roy Orbison The Great Pretender Comments
I like roy but freddie more i adore freddie
Disculpe... mi nombre es Máximo Cozzetti. ¿Podria hablar unas palabritas con Ud.?
The first time I heard about Roy Orbison it was on an article saying he sang like a murderer. I had no idea what that meant until I heard his work. It's specially clear in the Traveling Willburys: everyone sounds rather cheery and optimistic, then Roy comes in and stabs you right in the feels.
One of the greatest popular singers of all time. I have worshipped him and his music since I was 11 years old.
Everybody go see Tommync2010 sing it
I fucking adore this
Bravo!!
Genio Roy
The Big O never fails to get me from 0 to floods in 60 seconds ... He just had such wonderful insight into how emotions felt for people and conveyed that with his beautiful, expressive voice. To me his songs are like a friend showing he knows just how you feel. The angels in heaven are so lucky to get free concerts from him on tap!
He has more sadness in his voice than Freddie mercury
mohammed. mybe.its.becouse.he.lost.one.of.his.boys.and.ahard,life
Mohammed Imran Far more heartrending and from the heart version!
Basil Nedic He actually lost two sons in a house fire and his first wife in a motorbike accident he witnessed. However, as a BBC 4 documentary showed he wasn't bitter about these tragedies so much as thankful for the positives he still had and went on to have by marrying again and having more children.
His combinations of strength and tenderness with cheerfulness and sensitivity to sadness made him a truly special man. It's so understandable his second wife never got over his death and her own on the 23rd anniversary of his passing makes me imagine Roy stretching out his hand from heaven to her.
Freddy's is sadder because he really was pretending
Love Roy Boy 💝
