Fake
Alexander O´Neal Lyrics

Your name was Patty
I knew you by one name, but you changed it to something else.

but now it's Kay
Now you go by a different name.

Girl
Addressing the woman in question.

you seem to change it every day.
You change your name so frequently that I can't keep up.

Your hair was long
Your hair was previously long.

but now it's short
It is now cut short.

You say: I got it cut
You claim to have cut it yourself.

but I don't see no hair upon the floor.
However, I don't see evidence of the cut hair anywhere.

Whenever I go out with you I find out something new.
It seems like you always have something new to hide from me every time we go out.

You're a fake
You're not genuine, honest or sincere.

baby
Affectionate term generally used for lovers.

you can't conceal it
You can't hide your insincerity anymore.

Know how I know
I am aware of it because I can sense it.

'cause I can feel it.
I am aware of your untruths because I can sense them.

no rhyme or reason
There is no logical explanation for your dishonesty.

'Cause in your mind it's lyin' season.
You are always in the season of deceit in your mind.

You had brown eyes
Your eyes were originally brown in color.

but now they're blue
Now, you are wearing blue contact lenses to change the color of your brown eyes.

Those false eyelashes that you're wearin'
You are wearing fake eyelashes to make your lashes look longer.

In bed this morning you called me CIyde
You called me by the wrong name in bed this morning.

Alex is the name that I go by!
My name is Alex, and that is how I identify myself.

If women could be counterfit
If women were something that could be counterfeited,

then you'd be it.
You would be the prototype.

I've blown your cover
I have exposed your deceptions.

the iig is up
The game is over.

'cause I discovered -
Because I found out.

no need to hide it
You don't need to conceal it anymore.

Can't change my mind
You can't convince me otherwise.

'cause I've decided -
I have already made up my mind.

and I'm disgusted
I am repulsed by your lying nature.

The game is through and
The game is over.

girl
Addressing the woman in a condescending manner.

you're busted
You are caught in your lies.

fake!
Labeling the woman as someone who is not genuine, honest or sincere.

you always have a good excuse
You always come up with a plausible reason to explain your actions.

But
However.

girl
Addressing the woman in a condescending manner.

that ain't no use.
Your excuses are not convincing me anymore.

Fake
Repeating the label previously given to the woman.

fake!
Repeating the label previously given to the woman.
