I’m Real Lyrics

[Intro]
Uh, what?
Uh, uh, uh
Let's go

[Verse 1]
Called you on the phone, said I'm coming through
Hope you're all alone, 'cause I got plans for you
We could stay at home or dance and hang all night
As long as I'm with you, doesn't matter what we do

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't ask me where I've been
Or what I'm gonna do, just know that I'm here with you
Don't try to understand
Baby, there's no mystery, 'cause you know how I am

[Chorus (Diddy)]
I'm real (Real)
What you get is what you see (Yeah)
What you tryna to do to me?
You wanna say you're mine
Be with me all the time (Be with me all the time)
You're falling so in love (Oh yeah)
Say you just can't get enough
You're telling all your friends
(She's a bad, bad bitch)
[Interlude]
Woo! Oh, come on
Huh!
In the pocket, yeah

[Verse 2]
You like the way I dress, the way I wear my hair
Show me off to all your friends, and baby, I don't care
Just as long as you tell them who I am
Tell them I'm the one that made you give a damn

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't ask me where I've been
Or what I'm gonna do, just know that I'm here with you
Don't try to understand
Baby, there's no mystery, 'cause you know how I am
