Oh, your make believe smile, dry peck on my cheek
A weary sigh, before you open your mouth... to speak
Your insincere words echo in my ear
Makes me feel it doesn’t even really matter if... I’m here
Is this love, or just your private ‘passion play’?
Sick of denyin’, time for to say... my dear
You can’t fake love… even if you try,
Livin’ in your lie, ya know
You can’t fake love… soon it’s going to show,
Everyone will know
You can’t fake love… ya thinkin’ you can hide
The truth you keep inside… Oh no
Tryin’ my best to keep ya satisfied
My pals keep sayin’, ‘What? Why the hell do ya try?
Andy, whats-a-matta-witch-you? Ya crazy or some-um’?’
And no matter what I do
My love ‘n me, we’re never ever gonna be
Good enough... for you
I’ve waited for my heart to glow, all I feel is pain
And this frickin’ little voice keeps bouncin’ in my brain...
& it’s sayin’
You can’t fake love… feelin’ so unreal,
I know that I can’t deal with this
You can’t fake love… no use to pretend,
This thing has gotta end
You can’t fake love… from the depths of your soul,
You’re so outta control
Well you can make it. You can choose it.
You can take it. You can lose it.
You can break it. You can bruise it. BUT…
You can’t fake love
Why you can feel it. You can be it.
You can steal it. You can see it.
You can deal it. You can plea it. BUT...
You can’t fake love
Why you can try it, sleaze it, buy it, tease it,
Sigh it, seize it, BUT... Nooo
Can’t fake love... finally you’ll know,
This is not a show
You can’t fake love... I’m gonna call it quits,
Before I loose my wits
No you can’t fake love... I’m gettin’ outta here.
It’s time for me to go...
You can’t fake love!
