COUNTERFEIT LOVE
You can see something once
Maybe a thousand times
Day after day
And not see the disguise
Miss the imperfections
Right before your eyes
Miss the deceptions
Miss all the lies, Oh…
CHORUS
Your love’s a counterfeit love
Ain’t nothing ‘bout it that’s real
Cause when I gave myself to you
Yeah, you played me like a fool
There ain’t nothing ‘bout your love that’s true
Your love’s a counterfeit love
Ain’t nothing ‘bout it
Ain’t nothing ‘bout it, that’s real, that’s real
It’s getting harder
To tell the true from the fake
Seems like the real thing
Is the one we forsake
We buy the illusion
We all want to believe
We’re all so guarded
Yet so easily deceived
CHORUS
Ain’t nothing clever ‘bout
Playing with someone’s trust
Playing with someone’s heart
Betraying someone’s love
