Be For Real - Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes[00:00:00]
Written by:Cary Gilber[00:00:01]
Hey lady can I say something to[00:00:02]
You for a minute[00:00:03]
Please no now before you[00:00:06]
Take your coat off[00:00:08]
That's it[00:00:09]
I got something to tell you[00:00:12]
See what I have to say is so[00:00:13]
Very important to our relationship[00:00:15]
Why is it that every time we go[00:00:19]
Out on the town[00:00:20]
We get around our friends[00:00:21]
Man you're always talking[00:00:24]
About what you got huh[00:00:25]
Went out and bought for you[00:00:29]
How much money I make[00:00:32]
And what school our children go to[00:00:37]
And all the fancy clothes[00:00:42]
And big pretty cars[00:00:46]
The big diamond rings[00:00:48]
And them fantastic mink coats[00:00:50]
Is you for real[00:00:54]
No I don't think you are[00:00:57]
Sit down no no sit down[00:01:00]
Now don't say nothing you see[00:01:02]
Wait a minute[00:01:04]
That is your problem[00:01:05]
That is your problem[00:01:07]
You're always saying the wrong[00:01:08]
Thing at the right time[00:01:10]
You see I don't[00:01:14]
I don't know how to explain this to you[00:01:17]
The best I can tell you is[00:01:20]
What my mother told me as I was coming up[00:01:22]
She used to say[00:01:28]
Son chances go 'round[00:01:28]
She said the same people[00:01:32]
That you meet going up[00:01:33]
They make the same old faces coming down[00:01:36]
Heh tell the truth[00:01:41]
You see people today[00:01:46]
They come out there to party[00:01:47]
They come out to party man[00:01:49]
They didn't come out to hear[00:01:50]
All that jive mess you talking about[00:01:52]
You standing up in the corner[00:01:55]
With a bottle of champagne taking about Harry[00:01:57]
Joe and Dick and Bobby and what they ain't got[00:02:01]
And they live down in the lower development homes[00:02:08]
And you won't even help[00:02:13]
You won't even buy 'em a drink[00:02:15]
Is that any way to meet them[00:02:16]
If you're gonna boast boast around somebody[00:02:20]
That has what you have[00:02:23]
Don't make your own brothers and sisters feel bad[00:02:26]
You see listen[00:02:32]
I know you know what I'm talking about because[00:02:35]
From time to time I can remember you coming[00:02:38]
To me putting your head on my shoulder and crying[00:02:40]
Oh papa why why[00:02:44]
Why don't nobody wanna be my friend[00:02:49]
You told me a long time ago you said[00:02:53]
Papa what am I doing[00:02:55]
I didn't wanna tell you that[00:02:58]
I thought you had sense enough to realize[00:02:59]
What you're doing but I see you don't[00:03:02]
Sit down and listen to me no sit down[00:03:06]
You see people are too sensitive today[00:03:14]
They don't wanna hear all that jive you[00:03:17]
Talking back[00:03:18]
You see they don't wanna hear about what you got[00:03:22]
'Cause they're trying to get it too[00:03:23]
Heh tell the truth[00:03:25]
I can't very much blame her[00:03:31]
As much as it hurts me it hurts to see people[00:03:34]
Going around behind our backs saying that[00:03:37]
This woman this this woman that or[00:03:41]
She ain't this or she ain't that[00:03:44]
I wanna be proud of you mama[00:03:47]
I wanna be proud of you[00:03:52]
Listen as long as you live[00:03:56]
