本曲大意

这首歌叙述一个男孩子虽然失恋了，但仍假装若无其事，一点也不在乎的样子。虽然这么做可以掩饰一个失恋者的心，但偶尔还是得发泄一下。因此，当你（妳）失恋，想哭又怕有失面子时，雄哥建议，不妨立即回家躲在棉被里嚎啕大哭一场，既可发泄又不失面子。或许有读者会想知道雄哥是否有此经验──这是秘密！

英文歌词
Oh, yes, Im the great pretender, pretending that Im doing well. My need is such, I pretend too much. Im lonely, but no one can tell.
Oh, yes, Im the great pretender adrift in a world of my own. I play the game, but to my real shame, youve left me to dream all alone.
Too real is this feeling of make-believe. Too real what I feel, what my heart cant conceal. Oh, yes, Im the great pretender, just laughing and gay like a clown. I seem to be what Im not you see. Im wearing my heart like a crown, pretending that youre still around.

中文歌词

噢，的确，我是个善于伪装的人，假装我仍若无其事的样子。我对妳的需求是如此的强烈以致于我假装过头了。我是如此的寂寞，但却无人能看出来。
噢，的确，我是个最好的伪装者，在属于我的世界里漂流着。我一直玩着伪装的游戏，但令我真正感到羞耻的是，妳竟留下我独自做我的春秋大梦。
对我而言，这种伪装的感觉太真实了。我所感觉的，也就是我内心无法隐藏的感觉实在太真实了。噢，的确，我很善于伪装，并借着扮演一个快乐小丑来嘲弄自己。如今，我好象不是妳表面上所看到的我。我把我内心的悲伤埋藏起来，让我在外表看起来就像个国王般的意气风发，假装着妳仍在我身旁。
