You’re So Real Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yes I am
I hope you think you read me
Hope I start talking crazy before you understand me
Are we through?
You think that I'm beneath you
But you like the things that I do
Wrap 'em up and take 'em with you

[Verse 2]
I'm alright, hope I can sleep for one night
If not to cool my insides
Maybe to calm my backside
Rain on me, I got a weakness in me
I think that weakness feeds me
I don't think you think you need me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Sunshine, you're the best time
I ever, ever had
But I think I made you feel bad
The black fly on your necktie
Time after time

[Chorus]
But when the sun starts sinkin' on your beautiful soul
Make me cry, cry, baby, make you feel so cold
Don't you know it's alright?
Sometimes you just got to show how you feel
'Cause that's you, baby
Hell, you're so real
[Verse 3]
Run this 'round in your head
Like you don't know what's on the inside
You don't know me too well
You ain't seen my bad side
Shame on me, shame on the things that I'd be
If you could complicate me
If you could get inside me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sometimes you're the best time
I've ever, ever known
A pretty girl with a wicked smile on
But I've cried for the last time
Something just don't feel right

[Chorus]
And when the sun starts sinkin' on your beautiful soul
Make me cry, cry, baby, make you feel so cold
Don't you know it's alright?
Sometimes you just got to show how you feel
'Cause that's you, baby
Hell, you're so real

[Bridge]
You always know just who you are
You never needed someone else
To realize yourself
[Chorus]
And when the sun starts sinkin' on your beautiful soul
Make me cry, cry, baby, make you feel so cold
Don't you know it's alright?
Sometimes you just got to show how you feel
'Cause that's you, baby
Hell, you're so real

[Outro]
Yeah, baby, you're so real
Yeah, baby, you're so real, so real, so real
Oh, God, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
