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.
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.
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.
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel
What my heart can't conceal.
Time waits for nobody — yeah
Time don't wait — waits for no-one
Let us free this world for ever
And build a brand new future for us all.
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.
Yeah — Time waits for nobody
No no — Time don't wait for no-one
Let's learn to be friends with one another
Or there'll be no more future at all.
Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
We've got to build this world together
Or we'll have no more future at all
Because time it waits for nobody.
Love don't give no compensation.
Love don't pay no bills.
Love don't give no indications.
Love just won't stand still.
Love kills,
Thrills you through your heart.
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
