Counterfeit love don't try to pass it
Lend it or spend it misrepresent it
Counterfeit love I know you've got it
'Cause I can spot it counterfeit love

It is not love they offer me
Just a reasonable facsimile
Hot of the press one hour rolled
In the basement of your counterfeit soul

Counterfeit love don't try to pass it
Lend it or spend it misrepresent it
Counterfeit love I know you've got it
'Cause I can spot it counterfeit love

If a counterfeit coin or a counterfeit bill
Is proof enough to send a man to jail
You should be booked for suspicion of
A bogus heart in a counterfeit love

Counterfeit love don't try to pass it
Lend it or spend it misrepresent it
Counterfeit love I know you've got it
'Cause I can spot it counterfeit love

I know the signs and the earmarks of
Your kind of false oh counterfeit love
Two lips just made to say goodbye
A restless smile and a wanderin' night

Counterfeit love don't try to pass it
Lend it or spend it misrepresent it
Counterfeit love I know you've got it
'Cause I can spot it counterfeit love
