Got to Be Real - Cheryl Lynn

If you all want to know, I can show you How to be real Just don't hold back applause as I cause you How to be real Don't be afraid to ask questions And don't be afraid to sound dumb You aren't going to learn anything If you can't hear the sound of my drum I know the purple onion is a tough pill to swallow But just let it stretch your throat out It's as soft as marshmallows I know the purple onion is a tough pill to swallow But just let it stretch your throat out You'll be glad that you followed If you think you deserve it to learn it How to be real It's my service to stir up the words of How to be real Without a trick of the trade or tractors to unearth it Got a lifetime to decide if it was worth it Without a trick of the trade or tractors to unearth it Got a lifetime to decide if it was worth it Without a trick of the trade or tractors to unearth it Got a lifetime to decide if it was worth it

Turn the lights out, in the lighthouse I saw you coming Felt the shipwreck, saw the wreckage I heard you yelling Just then that's when I saw your reflection in the sand Wondering where you had washed up Oh, I ran to the water (mmm) I could put my hands down in it But it won't bring nothing up Sitting on the shore all day Just waiting on the tide to come But you can't hold on to water It fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And you're loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such A natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like a flood of love Bring it on Stay the night out, by the beach house It's oh so quiet Lit a candle, by the window So you might find it Hope you know you'll always have a place to call your home Still I can't help but think I could have saved you from drowning (oooh) I could put my hands down in it, yeah But it won't bring nothing up Sitting on the shore all day Just waiting on the tide to come But you can't hold on to waterIt fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And you're loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such A natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like a flood of love Bring it on I knew the waves were icy When I felt them all retreating Went to take a dive in the deep end Oh, what was I thinking? But you can't hold on to waterIt fills you up but never stays It's only good to wash away, today And you're loving me like water You're slipping through my fingers, such A natural disaster love Bringing on the flood of love Love me like (love me like) a flood of love Bring it on (Ohh ohh) The rising and the falling of my tears Rising and the falling of my tears that fill the ocean The ocean The ocean My tears that fill the ocean
