Really Real

I don’t wanna be your almost
Next to nearly close to somethin’
The kinda thing you only bring
Along when you are bluffin’
The one who stays til the end of the day
And then goes home with nothin’
Content with just the tidbits he can steal

I wanna be real
I wanna be really real

I don’t wanna be the puppy dog
You only hang around with
The one you meet to go and see
The funky side of town with
I wanna be the one next spring
You pick out rings and settle down with
Not just another temporary deal

I wanna be real
I wanna be really real

I don’t wanna be your working model
Mockup illustration
Your circumstantial victim
Passing fancy decoration
The souvenir you leave back here
When you head home from vacation
The dust that flies and falls behind your wheels

I wanna be real
I wanna be really real

I don’t wanna be the contraband
You sneak across the border
Who sits down at your table
But who never gets to order
Who always waits for payday
But only gets a quarter
And says “thank you kindly”
As he bows and kneels

I wanna be real
I wanna be really real
I wanna be really really really real
I wanna be really really really real
