Lyrics

Real

[Verse 1]

Wake up & shower, we gon’ meet in an hour

I'm already shaking, from my anticipation

Losing my patience yeah

Three days I've been waitin'

Can't get no concentration

What do you think I want?

Don’t want a dime of your money

Don’t want movies nor roses

What do you think I want?

(What you want? What you want? What you want?)

I want to hear moaning and moaning

I want touching and kissing

[Chorus]

You'll know when it’s real, real

When it make you say ooh, that feel ooh, that feel ooh

Ooh that feel good

You know how you can tell its’ real, real

When it make you say ooh, that feel ooh, that feel ooh

That’s it, keep it right there

[Verse 2]

Sexual healing, it’s much more than feeling

My heart needs healing

And I ain’t even trippin'

I'm crazy about us [?]

He knows how to work it and he knows how to twork it

What do you think I want?

I want little conversation

We both know our intention

What do you think I want?

I wanna see couch pillows rolling

I wanna see wrinkles in covers

[Chorus]

You'll know when it’s real, real

When it make you say ooh, that feel ooh, that feel ooh

Ooh that feel good

You know how you can tell its’ real, real

When it make you say ooh, that feel ooh, that feel ooh

That’s it, keep it right there

[Bridge]

When it makes you start having dreams

When it makes you high on your own

When it makes you [?]

While I’m home alone

You can’t help it can’t help it you’re helpless

Helpless you’re meltin’ you’re meltin’

Keeps me yearnin’, yearnin, yearnin

When it makes me start having dreams

When it makes me get high on my own

When it makes me [?]

While I’m home alone

I can’t help it can’t help it I’m helpless

Cause I [?]

Now I’m meltin, I’m meltin

You gotta know when it’s real!

[Chorus]

You'll know when it’s real, real

When it make you say ooh, that feel ooh, that feel ooh

Ooh that feel good

You know how you can tell its’ real, real

When it make you say ooh, that feel ooh, that feel ooh

That’s it, keep it right there

You'll know when it’s real, real

When it make you say ooh, that feel ooh, that feel ooh

You know how you can tell its’ real, real

When it make you say ooh, that feel ooh, that feel ooh

That’s it, keep it right there
