Can I get some nasty bass
Mmm
It’s gonna be kinda right tonight
Fellas {Yeah}
We gonna talk about a girl who’s fake, huh
Fellas, can I get you to put your hands together for that
Come on

Patty-Patty

Her name was Patty, but now it’s Kay
Girl, you seem to change it every day
Your hair was long, but now it’s short, you say
“I got it cut” but I don’t see no hair upon the floor

Whenever I go out with you
I find out something new

You’re a fake, baby
You can’t conceal it
Know how I know
‘Cause I can feel it

You’re a fake, baby
No rhyme or reason
‘Cause in your mind
It’s lyin’ season

You had brown eyes, but now they’re blue
Those false eyelashes that you’re wearin’ too, well
In bed this mornin’ you called me Clyde
Alex is the name that I go by, oh

If women could be counterfeit
Then you’d be it

You’re a fake, baby
You can’t conceal it
Know how I know
‘Cause I can feel it

You’re a fake, baby
I’ve blown your cover
The jig is up
‘Cause I’ve discovered

You’re a fake, baby
No need to hide it
Can’t change my mind
‘Cause I’ve decided

You’re a fake, baby
And I’m disgusted
The game is through
And girl, you’re busted

Fake

Whenever I go out with you (Whenever I go out with you)
I find out something new

You’re a fake

You always have a good excuse (You always have a good excuse)
But girl, there ain’t no use

You’re a fake, baby
You can’t conceal it
Know how I know
‘Cause I can feel it

You’re a fake, baby
No rhyme or reason
‘Cause in your mind
It’s lyin’ season

You’re a fake, baby
Fake (Ooh-wee, baby, baby)
Fake (Turnin’ ‘round and runnin’ ‘round)
Fake (Dirty nasty lowdown sleezy)
Fake
Fake (Uh)
Fake {On the one} (It’s the word)
Fake (I don’t need no sleezy lowdown)
Fake (I don’t want no lowdown dirty liar, no)
Fake (I can leave you, oh)
Fake (Even if you left me now)
Fake (What did you just do to me)
Fake
Fake
Fake
