Lyrics

Can I get some nasty bass?
Mmm, it's gonna be kinda right tonight
Fellas (Yeah)
We're gonna talk about a girl who's fake
Fellas, can I get you to put your hands together for that?
Come on
Patty, Patty
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 lying season
You had brown eyes, but now they're blue
And those false eyelashes that you're wearing, too, well
In bed this morning, you called me Clyde
Alex is the name that I go by
If women could be counterfeit
Then you'd be it
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 jig 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
Fake
Fake
Whenever I go out with you
(Whenever I go out with you)
I find out something new
You're a fake
You always have a good excuse
(You always have a good excuse)
But girl there ain't no use
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
You're a fake, baby
Fake
Ooh-wee, baby, baby
Fake
Running 'round and running 'round
Fake
Dirty, nasty, lowdown, sleazy
Fake
Done to me
Fake
Uh
Fake
Is the word
Fake
I don't need no sleazy woman
Fake
I don't want no lowdown dirty liar
Fake
I believe you are
Fake
Telling me you love me now
Fake
Why can't you be true to me?
Fake
Fake
Fake
