Lyrics
CHEAP IMITATION
Just a pretender
With your own agenda
Complete fabrication
A cold renegade
With a cool masquerade
And misrepresentation
It looked like the real thing
It shone like a new pin
And glittered like gold
You dressed it up well
I was someone to sell to
And you had me sold
A cheap imitation
A cruel replication
And something that I took for love
Not the genuine article
Fake for original
Something that I took for love
I took for love
Just an imposter
A cold hearted fraudster
The art of persuasion
A confidence trickster
A charlatan fixer
An impersonation
I was caught by a cheap trick
And you play it so slick
An underhand thinker
You hid in disguise
And fed me with your lies
I fell hook line and sinker
CHORUS
Now I know the fact from the fiction
I ?ve seen the light
Now I know the truth from the lies
The wrong from the right
CHORUS x 2
