Counterfeit Love
Rebelution Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well alright

Speaking my mind

Your a counterfeit love stay away from me cause I don't trust you girl
Your a counterfeit lover say you love me, but I don't trust you no

I never thought it would end this way
Whatever happened to my dream girl, whatever happened to your baby
I always say there's a way, but this time you changed it to my money
And you took my time, you took my heart and my soul my whole life

You're a counterfeit love stay away from me cause I don't trust you girl
You're a counterfeit lover you say you love me, but I don't trust you no
You're a counterfeit love stay back from me cause I don't trust you girl
You're a counterfeit lover you say you love me, but I don't trust you no

When I was a child I would dream
I dream for the day when I had money
I'd buy my baby all these little precious things just for me
But when dreams they become reality
She took me for my money, took me for my time
Took me for my heart and my soul my whole life
I never thought I'd say it I can't live a lie
Well I was wrong and now I got to say goodbye

You're a counterfeit love stay away from me cause I don't trust you girl
You're a counterfeit lover you say you love me, but I don't trust you no
You're a counterfeit love stay back from me cause I don't trust you girl
You're a counterfeit lover you say you love me, but I don't trust you no

Yeah well alright
Speaking my mind

You're a counterfeit love speaking my mind
You're a counterfeit lover speaking my mind
You're a counterfeit love stay away from me cause I don't trust you girl
You're a counterfeit lover you say you love me




But I don't trust you no
You're a counterfeit love

This CD is packed full of solid music, but something about this song is memorizing. I find myself listening to it multiple times a day usually.... Never gets old to me

@Poeskino

They performed this live about 4 years ago and the crowd sang every word. Absolutely incredible experience

@MM3lohim

Best song got me through my divorce when I was in the military super chill and made things seem alright

@Poeskino

This song got me through something similar. It's a crime that these guys arent world famous but at the same time, it makes them more special for those of us that know of their music
