are you back in my life to stay

or is it just for a day

or that you're gonna need me?

if it's a thrill you're looking for honey,

i'm flexible… oh, yeah
just be for real, won't you, baby?

be for real… oh, baby

you see I

I don't want
to be hurt by love again

so you see i'm not naive

I just would like to believe

ah, what you tell me

so don't give me the world today

and tomorrow take it away

don't do that to me darling

just be for real, won't you, baby?

be for real won't you, baby?

you see I

I don't want
to be hurt by love again

(…been hurt so many times)

(I don't give a damn about the truth,

baby except for the naked truth… oh yeah)

just be for real, won't you, baby?

be for real won't you, baby?

you see I

I don't want
to be hurt by love again
ohhh no
