Pam Tillis - A Great Disguise lyrics

People talkin', think I'm alright

Think I'm doin' fine

Goin' through the motioms of my life

Go to work now, every mornin'

Yeah, I play the part

Hide away the contents of my solemn heart

But when the sun goes down

And the moon is high

I can't control the flow of all these tears inside

And if they only knew

They'd be so surprised

I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise

Keep'em guessin', keep'em laughin'

Build the wall up high

Long as they don't see the other side

You've really done it, done a number

A number of my soul

There's no way I'll ever let you know

But when the sun goes down

And the moon is high

There's no way to hide the truth from me, myself and I

Yeah, I wear it well

Though it ain't my size

I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise

I'm not one to show emotion like some folks I see

I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve

I don't miss you, not for a minute I'm gonna be OK

Words of wisdom spoken by the light of day

But when the sun goes down

And the moon is high

Your memory pulls me under like a strong rip tide

I'm still in love with you

It's all smoke and lies

I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
