This Is for Real

[Verse 1]

If I wanted to, I'd have anything

I could ever need, anything indeed

But if I can't have you I'd be lost within

And everything else baby

Would really not be worth anything

[Chorus]

And I've really got to tell you

Exactly how I feel

And make you understand

That love ain't playing this time

This is for real

[Verse 2]

And if I could, I'd change what I am

But without you baby, I don't give a damn

Because what I am won't change until you change it

To anything you want it to be

Oh, I'm putting my trust in you

[Chorus]

And I've really got to tell you

Exactly how I feel

And make you understand

That love ain't playing this time

This is for real

[Verse 3]

I thought it out the other day

And came to the conclusion

That I wouldn't last a minute

Without your love, baby

No, no, no, no, no, no

You really did show me, baby

When you walked out on me

Now I've got to make you understand

That I won't be bad, I won't be bad anymore

[Bridge]

Oh, honey, this is for real

Everything that I'm saying

Every word that I'm saying

Is the thought of a brand new woman

I've got to have you back

So that I can make you see

That I'm not fooling around, baby

This is a brand new me

[Outro]

And I really got to tell it

T-E-L-L-L-L-L-L-L, yeah

And make you understand

That Miss Ree ain't playing this time

Ooh, baby this is for real

Yeah, you've got to understand me

That love ain't playing this time

Really, this is for real, sure for real

You gotta understand me

This is, now, this is, hit it now

For real
