Struggling with Fake? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
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. 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 lyin' season. 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 counterfit then you'd be it. You're a fake baby you can't conceal it . . . You're a fake baby I've blown your cover the iig is up 'cause I discovered - 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. You're a fake baby you can't conceal it . . . You're a fake baby no rhyme or reason . . . You're a fake baby Fake fake!
