Fake
Le Maximum Kouette Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't let anyone kill my desire, sexuality still must be a fire
I'm talking about fake, I'm yelling no fake
With the lady where do you go ?
I'ts always the same bitchy story , I lie to you, you lie to me
Her name is Joan , Marie, Nathalie, no matter the name if you have the pussy

I'm loosing control , my love has run away
No more sorrows, another song to play

I'm loosing control , my love has run away
No more sorrows, another song to play

It can be you, it can be me, love me tender, if you fake no matter
It will happen soon again, it's called shame and pain (x2)
Fake, fake, yes you could be killed (x3)

I'm loosing control , my love has run away
No more sorrows, another song to play
I'm loosing control , my love has run away
No more sorrows, another song to play

Please my love teach me desire, take my heart and burn it in fire
I don't want you to fake, make it sure no mistake, be the one or let me go
Make up your mind , stop being blind.I'm your kind of pearl, your sweet sugar girl

I'm loosing control, but no need to cry
I'm loosing control, I tell you goodby

I'm loosing control , my love has run away
No more sorrows, another song to play

I'm loosing control , my love has run away
No more sorrows, another song to play
