Pete Townshend Fake It
(Pete Townshend/Jon Astley/Billy Nichols/Jon Lind) 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 allfor real Fake it anyway You can fake it Hold my had If you fake it I will understand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
