A Great Disguise Lyrics by Martina McBride

Wild Angels

1995

[Verse 1]
People talking, think I'm alright
Think I'm doing fine
Going through the motions of my life
Go to work now every morning
Yeah, I play the part
And hide away the contents of my solemn heart
[Chorus 1]
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
I can't control the flood 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
[Verse 2]
Keep them guessing, keep them laughing
Build that wall up high
As long as they don't see the other side
You've really done it
Done a number, number on my soul
But I'll be damned if I ever let you know
[Chorus 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I'm not one to show emotion
Like some fools I see
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve
And I don't miss you
Not for a moment
I'm gonna be okay
Words of wisdom spoken by the light of day
[Chorus 3]
But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
Your memory pulls me under like a strong riptide
I'm still in love with you
It's all smoke and lights
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
[Outro]
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
