Various Artists lyrics - Fake Your Way to the Top [Jennifer H, Beyoncé]

album: Dreamgirls [Deluxe Soundtrack] (2006)
genre: 

[Jimmy:]
Thirteen years of solid gold platters 
Rising costs and cocktail chatter 
Fat deejays, stereophonic sound, oh baby 
The game of hits gooes around and around 
But you can fake your way to the top 
Around and around 
(Try that part righ there, baby.) 

[Lorrell:]
Round and around 

[Jimmy:]
Fake your way to the top 

[Deena:]
Round and around 

[Jimmy:]
(Yeah, you fell right in there, didn't you, sweetheart?)
You can fake your way to the top 

[Effie:]
Round and around 

[Jimmy:]
(Shit, I knew you'd have it!) 
But it's always real, so real 

[Effie/Deena/Lorrell:]
Always so real 

[Jimmy:]
When you're comin' down 
I know what's happ'nin', I been around 
Fakin' my way through every town 
I make my livin' off o' me sound 
And the game of hits 
It does around and around 
And around and around 

[Effie/Deena/Lorrell:]
Around and around 
Around and around 

[Jimmy:]
A man gets lonely 
Workin' hard on the road 
He's away from his woman 
It's a heavy load 

Time ought bring up the light! 
Yeah, lets see which one of these girls 
is goin' home with Jimmy tonight! 
Yeah, I got a nice warm bed waitin' on ya. 
Alright now, come on now, who wants to sit on Daddy's lap? 
Break it down. 

I said I faked my way to the top 
Oh-oh 
You know I faked my way to the top 
Yeah-yeah 
Oh, yes I did 
I faked my way to the top 
Oh yeah, oh yes I did... 
And it's always real, so real, baby 
When you're comin' down 
Help me Jesus 
Help help help help me, Jesus 
Fake my way to the top!
