Downtown disco, out on the floor,

He's been there a hundred times before,

Looking for some pretty high class fool to play with

Back in his place when he pours out the wine

And the crystal snowflakes stand in line -

She won't ever find a faster way to heaven.



You can find him any night

Standing in the upstage light,

Waiting for some easy act to follow -

Watch him move in perfect time

Memorising all his lines

Roll up! Roll up! see the Great Pretender



Dinner party, table for two -

Video turns to midnight blue,

He says "do you like to do it this way?"

Black satin sheets edged in guilt,

Whispered lies underneath the quilt -

He'll do anything a woman wants,

'cos he's built for pleasure



You can find him etc



All night, all night

We last, all night
