"Real Emotion" lyrics

Nothing much happens to me
I like to watch a lot of TV
Losing myself in the afternoon
Little slices of life that are over too soon

I can't think of nowhere to go
I spend a lot of time at the show
And when I'm sittin' real close
To the wide wide screen
I feel like it's happened to me

I'm talkin' 'bout real emotion
Shinin' right on through
If your heart is true you can make it
You don't have to fake it
With real emotion
There ain't no substitute for your real emotion

When I get sad I can cry
And when I get old I can die
Knowin' what life is all about
And watch it all go by

Now I know that you'll understand
And when you can love me again
It's like sitting real close to the wide wide screen
I feel like it's happened to me

I'm talkin' 'bout real emotion
Shinin' right on through
If your heart is true you can make it
You don't have to fake it
With real emotion
There ain't no substitute for your real emotion

Real emotion can happen to you
Shinin' right on through
If your heart is true you can make it
You don't have to fake it
With real emotion
There ain't no substitute for your real emotion

Shinin' right on through
If your heart is true you can make it
You don't have to fake it
With real emotion
It could happen to you
Real emotion
