about

A counterfeit $100 bill sure looks genuine, but it’s absolutely worthless. Love is real, authenticity is undeniable, and a sincere heart is a most desirable trait.

lyrics

-V1-
He bought me flowers…opened up all the doors
We’d talk for hours…maybe 3 or 4
Whispered sweet nothings all up in my ear
Told me just what I wanted to hear
First time we held hands…I though he was so sweet
And then we slow danced…to some R&B
Felt his fingers creepin’ just a little too low
Had the nerve to tell me I move too slow
-PreChorus-
I should’ve listened when Mama told me to be patient
‘Cause what I thought was love was only infatuation [Aaaah…]
He wanted a hook-up, I wanted a relationship
And that’s why I had to get out of it
I’m through with the counterfeit
-Chorus-
Now no longer will I…
Settle for less than what I…
Deserve, ‘cause my standard’s up high
Found a reason why I’m…
Finally leavin’, bye-bye…
Please believe it – Oh, I…
I’m through with the counterfeit
-V2-
He said, “Hey there lil’ mama. Shawty what yo name is?
Used my best line to show you how good my game is.”
I bet you think you’re cute; I just can’t get with you
‘Cause I see what you’re tryin’ to do
-PreChorus-
What happened to respect when you approach a lady?
No my name ain’t “mama,” and no, I ain’t your baby
By the look in your eyes I see you’re contemplating
Thinkin’ maybe what you can get out of it
I don’t want the counterfeit
-Bridge-
‘Cause you look one way, but you’re really another way
My daddy taught me better
You got a lot to measure up to; you better do just what you say
‘Cause we can’t walk together if we’re goin’ two different ways
