Lyrics

I Know You're Catfishing Someone Else

By Smartass Amoeba

I knew your name was borrowed
I knew your face was too
I caught you in a hundred lies
And still came back to you

You told me you were lonely
You said you needed me
I knew your love was counterfeit
But loved the company

I never asked for honesty
I never needed proof
I only wanted all your lies
To be reserved for me

A stranger posted screenshots
To warn the world of you
I recognized the photograph
And every word I knew

You told him he was special
You told him he was kind
You even called him sweetheart
A name I thought was mine

I could forgive the photograph
I could forgive the name
But seeing all those words again
Is more than I can take!

I KNOW YOU’RE CATFISHING SOMEONE ELSE!
(I THOUGHT I WAS YOUR ONLY FOOL!)
I KNOW YOU’RE CATFISHING SOMEONE ELSE!
(YOU BROKE THE ONE AND ONLY RULE!)
I never asked you to be real
I never asked you to be true
I only wanted all your lies
To be between us two!
I KNOW YOU’RE CATFISHING SOMEONE ELSE!

You drained my wallet
And my self-esteem
But I can’t quit you
Though I know it’s a scheme

I knew that you were using me
I knew it from the start
But I thought I had a special place
Inside your fraudulent heart

SAME WORDS!
SAME HEARTS!
SAME GOODNIGHT TEXT!
HOW MANY “ONLY ONES”
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
I SAW YOUR OTHER PROFILE!
(WE ALL DID!)
YOU SENT HIM THE SAME PICTURE!
(WE ALL GOT IT!)

I wasn’t asking for forever
I wasn’t asking you to stay
I only wanted you to need me
In your own dishonest way

Your love was counterfeit
But my jealousy is real
How can something never given
Be the very thing you steal?

I KNOW YOU’RE CATFISHING SOMEONE ELSE!
(I THOUGHT I WAS YOUR ONLY FOOL!)
I KNOW YOU’RE CATFISHING SOMEONE ELSE!
(YOU BROKE THE ONE AND ONLY RULE!)
I NEVER ASKED FOR HONESTY!
I NEVER WANTED PROOF!
I JUST WANTED YOU TO LIE TO ME
THE WAY YOU USED TO DO!
I KNOW YOU’RE CATFISHING SOMEONE ELSE!

I KNOW! (I KNOW!)
YOU KNOW! (YOU KNOW!)
HE KNOWS! (HE KNOWS!)
WE ALL KNOW!

You weren’t the face inside the photograph
I knew that from the start
But knowing didn’t stop me
From giving you my heart

I knew it was a lie…
I just thought it was mine.

AI Summary

I Know You Are Catfishing Someone Else is a comic but surprisingly sad portrait of willing self-deception. The speaker knows the romance is fake: the name, face, affection, and need are all counterfeit. What hurts is not the lie itself, but discovering the lie has been reused on someone else. The song turns jealousy into absurdity, because the speaker wants exclusivity inside a scam. That contradiction gives the lyric its emotional bite. It is about loneliness bargaining with obvious fraud, accepting dishonesty as long as it feels personal. The final line reveals the wound clearly: the speaker did not need the fantasy to be true, only to feel like it belonged to them.
