Verse 
A5                                   D5 
They're making cheap imitations of everything 
A5                             E5 
From rubber tires to leather gloves 
A5                               D5  
But the cheapest imitation I've ever seen 
A5          E5           A5    (stop)   
Was you imitation of love 
 
Chorus 
              D5 
Imitation of love 
                 A5 
There's no heart in it 
              E5 
You were only fooling 
           A5       (stop) 
You never meant it 
               D5 
Imitation of love 
              A5    
I'm tired of living 
               E5 
You were only giving 
                   A5 
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
