The Lyrics

well, it was fun here, bein' rode
till it started to goad
don't take ninety minutes to unwind
cries of passion, phony
knees and elbows, bony
i'll use an ol' ploy of mine

fakin's easy
fakin's easy
just roll around
puff, purr and squeal
like you're crazy
tighten up your legs and can
let out a cry that says 'how grand"
and make a face that should be banned
yeah, fakin's easy

well, if you're painted in a corner
a whisker from a coma
just pretend ecstasy
twist and twirl, my lord
holler "all aboard"
moanin' loud and shakin' mightily

come on baby
i'm bored lately
i surely know that your weak love
ain't gonna quake me
i may coo and i may spin
but i'm just doin' my act again
i'm givin' up by chimin' in
yeah, fakin's easy

well, i'm getting in the mode
like i'm set to exlode
got a world of practice of this kind
foolin' my poor lover
but they shan't discover
it ain't hard, i find

fakin's easy
fakin's easy
just roll around
puff, purr and squeal
like you're crazy
come on baby
i'm bored lately
i surely know that your weak love
ain't gonna quake me

oh, i fake it easy
i always fake it easy

Heh heh, funny work Alvin. Fakin isn't easy for guys though. =) How about "Fakin' Love Is Hard To Do" to Neil Sedaka's "Breakin' Up is Hard To Do" next? Uh-oh, I feel some fives coming on, yes... YES! God YESSSS! (you know it's real when an atheist woman screams for God in the bedroom!)

Oh Alvin - trying to get an image out of my head now... ;-)
TT - February 06, 2007 - Report this comment
Red Ant: Ann Hammond suggested that.

And while TT has heard dozens -- ok, hundreds -- of women scream many things in ecstasy, the two words none has ever said are "Yes" and "God". Movies are so fake...

"One says she's a friend of mine." That's probably faked, too! Ant: I already did "Faking Love Is Hard On You." And, oh, God, it was great!

If I told ya it was good would you think I was fakin' it ? Here, I'll slip ya three fives, and I won't even ask for change :)

Wow, some really brilliant rhyming substitutions against the original lyric, and recontexualizations of words in the same place as the OS.

Yeah, this Slvin Rhodes was the best there was. Better than Al Yankovich. But then again. Several people in the archives are better writers than Al; at least in his MTV years

"Slvin Rhodes" .. Slvin was his actual first name (Serbian, I believe) but he chose to go by Alvin for some reason (eesh)
