"Real" lyrics

"Real"

I think it's time that we move ahead
To the place we never wanted to go
There's no sense in looking back
Let the final credits roll
I could never live up to
The man that's in your head
You want the guy from the notebook
But you got me instead

But you'll be sorry when I'm gone

I never said I was perfect
Who the hell wants perfect anyway?
Sometimes I really fucked up
But baby I learn from my mistakes
And I don't know what I'm supposed to be
All that I ever am is me
And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal
I'm just trying to be real, real, real
I'm just trying to be real, real, real

I never was the hip kid
I always use words like hip
Judas Priest on my Walkman
When culture club was the shit (I tumble for you)
I drive a '91 Volvo
The AC still works fine
I'm happy with my Miller Lite
While everyone's drinking wine

'Cause it's less spilling, it tastes great

I never said I was perfect
Who the hell wants perfect anyway?
Sometimes I really fucked up
But baby I learn from my mistakes
And I don't know what I'm supposed to be
All that I ever am is me
And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal
I'm just trying to be real, real, real
I'm just trying to be real, real, real

You can have your gluten free pizza, I've got Taco Bell
You can try your best to change me
I just gotta be myself

I never said I was perfect
Who the hell wants perfect anyway?
Sometimes I really fucked up
But baby I learn from my mistakes
And I don't know what I'm supposed to be
All that I ever am is me
And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal
(Never gonna change)

I never said I was perfect
Who the hell wants perfect anyway?
Sometimes I really fucked up
But baby I learn from my mistakes
And I don't know what I'm supposed to be
All that I ever am is me
And I'll never gonna change, here's the deal
I'm just trying to be real, real, real
I'm just trying to be real, real, real
