Here's "Fake". Probably needs corrections, so anyone please post if you catch
any mistakes.


"Fake" - Alexander O'Neal
(J. Harris III - T. Lewis)
on the album _Hearsay_ - Tabu, 1987

Can I get some nasty bass
It's gonna be kinda right tonight
Fellas, we gonna talk about a girl who's fake
Fellas, can I get you to put your hands together for that
Come on
Patty, Patty

Your name was Patty
But now it's Gay
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 lying season

You had brown eyes
But now they're blue
And those false eyelashes that you're wearing too

And then this morning
You call me Clyde
Alex is the name that I go by

If women could be kinda fake
Then you would 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 discovered

You're a fake, baby
No need to hide it
Can't change my mind
'Cause I 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 lying season

You're a fake, baby
Fake

Here's one..

If you were here tonight

As the night moves in
Love takes on a new meaning
If you were here
You would know what I mean to say
The circumstance leaves me only waiting
For the chance
I only want to love you more ... more
Can’t you understand it
Girl you know how much I care
It’s not the way I planned it no
If you could only know my feelings
You would know how much I do believe


If you were here tonight

By my side
If you were with me now
When the lights go out
I can not pretend
This bed’s too big for me
To be in alone all alone
Slow burn light a candle for our love ... love
So we’ll always be one to one in love ooh love
Can’t you understand it
Girl you know how much I care
It’s not the way I planned it no
If you could only know my feelings
You would know how much I do believe
If you were here tonight oh love
By my side
If you were with me now
Every night alone I just wait here anticipating
For the day I won’t feel this pain baby
Please don’t keep me waiting
Come to me


If you were here tonight

Ooh oh girl
Be by my side
Girl this bed’s too big for me
For me to be in all alone
All alone
(By my side)
Don’t keep me waiting baby
If you were with me now
Oh oh ooh hold me girl all night
Want you for myself
Do me right
Got nobody else
All by myself
Got nobody else girl
This love is true
Please take me home
Be with you tonight
Give our love a light
Do just what you feel
Please don’t be a tease
Girl I love you more
You’re the one that I adore...

And one more...

A broken heart can mend

Chorus:
A broken heart
A broken heart
A broken heart can mend
A broken heart
A broken heart
A broken heart can mend
Sometimes I’m scared to get too serious
I get the feeling that I’m all locked in
You might be the girl who will break my heart
If I take this chance and go out on a limb
I know from experience
When you fall in love
Something sure do break your heart
Repeat chorus
I can’t get awake of sleep
I’m always wondering who you’re with
So if I keep you near to me
I’m gonna save myself a lot of grief
And maybe I’ll fall in love
If you catch my fall
And you never break my heart baby
Repeat chorus 3 times
Oh girl
Oh baby
It takes a little time
Then you van love again
But I ain’t got the time
To get through another heartbreak
(I I I I A broken heart can mend)
(I I I I A broken heart can mend)

I just realised this is on the B-side of "Fake".

There's some moaning and mumbling during the third chorus that's unintelligible
to me. "Ohhhhh girl" maybe? I left it out.

If there's any mistakes, drop a line.


"A Broken Heart Can Mend"


(J. Harris III - T. Lewis)

on the album _Alexander O'Neal_ - Tabu, 1985

A broken heart, a broken heart, a broken heart can mend
A broken heart, a broken heart, a broken heart can mend

Sometimes I'm scared to get serious
I get the feeling that I'm locked in


You might be the girl who will break my heart

If I take the chance and go out on a limb

I know from experience
When you fall in love

Something's sure to break your heart

A broken heart, a broken heart, a broken heart can mend
A broken heart, a broken heart, a broken heart can mend
(Say baby, looky here)

I can't get a wink of sleep


I'm always wondering who you're with
So if I keep you near to me
I'm gonna save myself a lot of grief

And maybe I'll fall in love
If you catch my fall

And you never break my heart, baby

A broken heart, a broken heart, a broken heart can mend
A broken heart, a broken heart, a broken heart can mend
A broken heart, a broken heart, a broken heart can mend
A broken heart, a broken heart, a broken heart can mend

A broken heart, a broken heart, a broken heart can mend
(Oh baby, it takes a little time then you can love again)
A broken heart, a broken heart, a broken heart can mend
(But I ain't got the time to wait through another heartbreak)

A-a-a-a broken heart can mend (A-a-a-a broken heart can mend)
A-a-a-a broken heart can mend (A-a-a-a broken heart can mend)

I love you
Don't you ever break my heart
Please, please
