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've left me to dream all alone.
Too real is this feeling of (ooooh-ooooh) make believe,
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'm wearing my heart like a crown,
Pretending that you're still around.
Yeah, ooh hoo
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 (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see,

Pretending that you're
Pretending that you're still around...
You're so beautiful, you just lay it on me

Time waits for nobody.
Time waits for nobody.
We all must plan our hopes together,
Or we'll have no more future at all.
Time waits for nobody.
We might as well be deaf and dumb and blind.
I know that sounds unkind...
But it seems to me we've not listened to,
Or spoken about it at all,
The fact that time is running out for us 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.
You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong (gone wrong 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 (confided in each other, at all)
It seems that we've all got our backs against the wall.
(Time) Time waits for nobody,
(Time) waits for no-one.
We've got to trust in one another,
Or there'll be no more future at all.
(Time!)
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 (time) time (time) waits for nobody, waits for nobody,
Time, time, time, time waits for nobody at all.
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!
Oh...
Time
Waits for nobody, nobody, nobody...
For no-one...
Now you say you're leaving me, I just can't believe it's true
You're my kind of lover
Wanna little bit of feeling, add a little bit of meaning to my life
I wanna little bit of feeling, a little bit of sunshine to my life
I wanna be your kind of lover
Give a little bit of feeling, just a little bit of feeling
Add a little bit of meaning to my life
I wanna boogie down with you, brother
Boogie down with bassman, win love on the grandslam

In my defence, what is there to say?
All the mistakes we made must be faced today.
It's not easy now, knowing where to start,
While the world we love tears itself apart.
I'm just a singer with a song,
How can I try to right the wrong?
For just a singer with a melody,
I'm caught in between,
With a fading dream.
In my defence, what is there to say?
We destroy the love, it's our way.
We never listen enough, never face the truth.
Then like a passing song,
Love is here and then it's gone.
I'm just a singer with a song,
How can I try to right the wrong?
For just a singer with a melody,
I'm caught in between,
With a fading dream.
I'm just a singer with a song,
How can I try to right the wrong?
I'm just a singer with a melody,
I'm caught in between, with a fading dream,
Caught in between, with a fading dream,
Caught in between, with a fading dream...
Oh, what on earth?
Oh, what on earth?
How do I try?
Do we live or die?
Oh, help me, God,
Please help me...
Let's go chasing rainbows in the sky.
It's my invitation,
Let's all take a trip on my ecstasy...
I'm Mr Bad Guy,
