Be For Real With Me - The Dells

Ay, ya, ya, be for real with me

Ay, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

You can’t keep placing me

On and off the shelf

Your lips say you love me

But your eyes says something else

You’re having so much fun

On your merry go round

But I’m tired of you using

My heart for a playground

Baby, I’m a man

I want to be treated like one

I’m beginning to see

Where you’re coming from

Ay, ya, ya, be for real with me

Ay, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

A lie can only live

Oh, for just so long

But it has a time

Cause the truth is just so strong

Don’t keep your feelings

Hidden in the dark

Cause I got to know

If I’m still in your heart

Baby you used me

So many times before

But that’s all over

I’m not going to be a fool no more

Ay, ya, ya, be for real with me

Oh, why can’t you be for real with me?

Before you start looking

For your next man

You better think twice

Before you make me your ex man

A house that’s built on lies

Will only fall down

You better get it together

If you want me around

Oh!

Lay your cards

On the table, Girl

Try to be true

To liven my world

No more can I let you

String me along

My eyes are wide open

To what’s going on

Baby, I’m a man

I want to be treated like one

I’m beginning to see

Where you’re coming from

Ay, ya, ya, be for real with me

Oh, why can’t you be for real with me?

I want the real deal

I got to have it now

I want the real deal (Real deal)

I got to have it now

Oh, oh, oh, ah huh

Oh, why can’t you be for real with me?

Oh, why can’t you be

Oh, why can’t you be

Oh, why can’t you be for real with me?
