Cee-Lo - Medieval Times (Great Pretender) lyrics

Well...

I'm a species so rare the human eye's hardly seen

A thin line between divine and killing machine

A dark side of the light that no one should ever see

Oh, I feel for the foolish for fucking with me

There is a war inside me but the water is still

You'll be safer every time assuming it will,

But to lose my composure I don't normally do,

I just thought that you should know

I've been sicker than you

You don't know me

A record can't tell ya

Uh-oh, I'm the Great Pretender

(repeat)

You say you want my pain,

My own personal pain

A lot hurt, heartache, and hard times it's hard to explain

I can feel the anger starting to happen again

I'd bust your head and break your brain for five minutes of fame

A-ha ha

My heart beats with unconditional love

But beware of the blackness that it's capable of

Oh yeah, Oh yeah

You got to travel the road of a troubled soul

I'm trying so hard not to lose control

Oh yeah, Oh yeah

You don't know me

A record can't tell ya

Uh-oh, I'm the Great Pretender

(repeat)

They said in life you shouldn't worry

Just got to let the wind blow

Ha, ha, ha

You see every day I'm struggling

For the strength to let it go

Ha, ha, ha

You don't know me

A record can't tell ya

Uh-oh, I'm the Great Pretender

(repeat)
