Verse 
A                                   D 
They're making cheap imitations of everything 
A                             E 
From rubber tires to leather gloves 
A                               D  
But the cheapest imitation I've ever seen 
A          E           A    (stop)   
Was you imitation of love 
 
Chorus 
              D 
Imitation of love 
                 A 
There's no heart in it 
              E 
You were only fooling 
           A       (stop) 
You never meant it 
               D 
Imitation of love 
              A    
I'm tired of living 
               E 
You were only giving 
                   A 
Your imitation of love 
 
Verse 
Why when I first met you 
You were so sweet 
I thought you must have come from above 
So I fell for you 
But when you had made your play 
It was an imitation of love 
 
Chorus  
 
From the first time that I kissed your lips 
To the last time in your arms 
You were copying love and making believe 
Faking with all your charms 
 
Chorus
