Fake That Emotion Lyrics

Is there a telephone in the hotel?

I'd like to call a friend

It's half past five and I'm half alive

I need someone's ear to bend



So I give her a call

And she says oh, it's you

I know what you want

But what I need is a heart that's true



So I told her that I loved her, but I lied

'Cause sometimes you gotta fake that emotion

Sometimes you gotta lie about your devotion

Sometimes you gotta lie about your intentions



It's a sad, sad old world

Never know true love

But live won't get too deep

When you're shallow

It's always above you



So sometimes you gotta fake that emotion

Sometimes you gotta lie about your devotion

Sometimes you gotta lie about your intentions

'Cause there are some things you'd be wise not to mention
