FAKIN' IT
(Paul Simon)
Simon & Garfunkel


When she goes, she's gone 
If she stays, she stays here 
The girl does what she wants to do 
She knows what she wants to do 
And I know I'm fakin' it 
I'm not really makin' it 

I'm such a dubious soul 
And a walk in the garden 
Wears me down 
Tangled in the fallen vines 
Pickin' up the punch lines 
I've just been fakin' it 
Not really makin' it 

Is there any danger? 
No, no, not really 
Just lean on me 
Takin' time to treat 
Your friendly neighbors honestly 
I've just been fakin' it 
I'm not really makin' it 
This feeling of fakin' it- 
I still haven't shaken it 

Prior to this lifetime 
I surely was a tailor 
Look at me 
("Good morning, Mr. Leitch, 
Have you had a busy day?") 
I own the tailor's face and hands 
I am the tailor's face and hands 
I know I'm fakin' it 
I'm not really makin' it 
This feeling of fakin' it- 
I still haven't shaken it
