Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought that I knew about 'em
Thought that they would never do me wrong
Well, well, they smile in your face
When all the time they wanna take your place
Them backstabbers
[PreChorus]
Same old scene that you've seen for so long
Always want to be around you, but as jealous as they come
Well, don't want you to win that race
'Cause if you do, it's gonna lessen their space
That's when I decide to say
[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye to all the fake people in my life
I never wanted you around me, so be on your way now
You better think twice before you let people in your life
'Cause when you put down, no one is around you
You got a case of the fake people
Aye, a case of the fake people, oh, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
I thought that I knew about 'em
The only one's that really care for me, oh yeah
But they shouldn't be that way
Only down for as long as you can give security
[PreChorus]
Same old scene that you've seen for so long
Always want to be around you but as jealous as they come
Well, don't want you to win that race
'Cause if you do it's gonna lessen their space
That's when I decide to say
[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye to all the fake people in my life
I never wanted you around me so be on your way now
You better think twice before you let people in your life
'Cause when you put down, no one is around you
You got a case of the fake people
[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye to all the fake people in my life (In my life)
I never wanted you around me so be on your way now
You better think twice before you let people in your life
'Cause when you put down, no one is around you
You got a case of the fake people, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Uh, oh-oh, you got a case of the fake people
Oh-oh, case of the fake people
Yeah, got a case of the fake people
Oh-oh, case of the fake people
[Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye to all the fake people in my life
I never wanted you around me so be on your way now
You better think twice before you let people in your life
'Cause when you put down, no one is around you
You got a case of the fake people
[Outro]
Case of the fake people
Goodbye, goodbye
Oh-oh, case of the fake people
Goodbye, goodbye to all the fake people in my life
