Hold on GeorgieGirl..
these lyrics were dedicated to Johnny Prep H quite a while ago.

"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
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
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
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
(Still around)"


Man, that song reminds me of Danette, my high school flame!

Thanks, Don, that was cool. Oh, by the way, back when that song was written, 'gay' meant 'happy',
not homosexual.

Why would you point out your interpretation of "gay", Johnny?
You sure that highschool sseetie wasn't a 'Danny'?

....make that 'sweetie'..

We knew what you meant. You're pretty simple to figure out.

Make 'what' 'sweetie'? You're machine is chopping off everything again, so your posts don't make a
lot of sense.

If you're calling me sweetie, I suppose that's OK. It's about the same as 'Johnny'.

Well you do seem to be confused over the meaning of words lately. John
was just trying to help.

Ha, ha! That was a good one. No, her father was a 'Daniel' who wanted his kid named after him. When
born, the kid turned out to be female and got named 'Danette'. The next child to come along was a
boy, whom they named 'Daniel'.

I was pointing out only that fifty years ago, the word 'gay' actually meant 'happy'. I'm not sure
when the word became associated with homosexuals. I pointed it out because I thought it interesting
how the meaning of a word can change.

Hope that helps!
