You can fake it

Hold my hand

If you take it

I will understand



I don't care if you fake it

I don't give a damn

I don't care if you fake it

Don't you understand



You might laugh at me later

But why not smile at me now

Don't ever feel like a traitor

You're not letting me down



Fake it, fake it

I can take it

Love's just an end, it's the means we feel

Fake it, fake it

I can make it

Why not pretend that your love is real

Why not fake it?



I'm going to ask you to act it

Don't let me see if you're bored

If you use the right tactic

You will hear me applaud

I don't mind what you're thinking

I'll just guess what you feel

Don't regret you've been drinking

To make your pleasure look real



Fake it, fake it

I can take it

I don't believe in eternity

Fake it, fake it

Help me make it

I've taken leave of all dignity

Why not fake it?



I am prepared to put up with this

Because I love you so much

And I know that you probably don't love me in the same way

But if you care for me at all

Then take me in your arms

Fabricate the way you feel

I'll just pretend that it's all for real

Fake it anyway





Fake it, fake it

I can take it

I don't believe in eternity

Fake it, fake it

Help me make it

I've taken leave of all dignity



Fake it, fake it

I can take it

Love's just an end, it's the means we feel

Fake it, fake it

I can make it

Why not pretend that your love is real

Why not fake it?

Why not pretend that your love is real





You can fake it

Hold my had

If you fake it

I will understand
