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
Memorizing 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
Cause he's built for pleasure
You can find him etc
All night, all night
We last, all night
