Pete Townshend - Fake It lyrics

RAY: Ruth, you don't get it, do you? I knew all the time. You can fake it Hold my hand If you fake 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 gonna 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 all for real Fake it anyway 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 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? Yeah Why not pretend that your love is real You can fake it Hold my hand If you fake it I will understand
