Hey, hey
Steady as she goes
It’s me again, hello
I can’t stop the voices
Now it’s you and me
And I am lost for words
I just keep on falling

Watch me go
I’m the great pretender
Baby, go
Now it’s time for me to surrender
And we can dance again, dance again
We can dance again, dance again

Watch me as I go
I live in make believe
And no one hears you calling
Where do you hide
If you don’t know who you are
But you love it and you’re not the same?
So don’t fear it now

Watch me go
I’m the great pretender, yeah
Baby, go
Now it’s time for me to surrender
And we can dance again, dance again
We can dance again, dance again
We can dance again, dance again

Let’s hear it for the great pretender
(Dance again, dance again)
You know we don’t stop thinking
We can never surrender
(We can dance again, dance again)
Let’s hear it for the great pretender
(Dance again, dance again)
You know we don’t stop thinking
We can never surrender
(Dance again, dance again)
