| [Intro:] Can I get some nasty bass? It's gonna be kinda right tonight! Fellas! (Yeah!) we gonna talk about a girl who's fake! Fellas, can I get you to put your hands together for that? Come on! Patty, Patty! [Verse 1:] Your name was Patty, but now it's Kay Girl, you seem to change it every day Your hair was long but now it's short You say "I got it cut!" but I don't see no hair upon the floor Whenever I go out with you I find out something new [Chorus:] You're a fake, baby You can't conceal it Know how I know? 'Cause I can feel it You're a fake, baby No rhyme or reason 'Cause in your mind It's lying season [Verse 2:] You had brown eyes, but now they're blue Those false eyelashes that you're wearin' too In bed this morning, you called me CIyde Alex is the name that I go by! If women could be counterfeit Then you'd be it [Chorus 2:] You're a fake, baby You can't conceal it Know how I know? 'Cause I can feel it You're a fake, baby I've blown your cover The iig is up 'Cause I discovered [Chorus 3:] You're a fake, baby No need to hide it Can't change my mind 'cause I've decided You're a fake, baby And I'm disgusted The game is through And girl, you're busted Fake! Whenever I go out with you I find out something new You're a fake You always have a good excuse But girl that ain't no use [Chorus 1] You're a fake Baby Fake Fake! Running round and running round... fake Dirty, nasty, low down, sleazy fake Fake is the word! |
