A Great Disguise Lyrics - Pam Tillis

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
