Aretha Franklin - This Is For Real lyrics
[Aretha Franklin - This Is For Real lyrics]
If I wanted to, I'd have anything
I could ever need, anything indeed
But if I can't have you I'd be lost within
And everything else baby
Would really not be worth anything
And I've really got to tell you
Exactly how I feel and make you understand
That love ain't playing this time
This is for real
And if I could, I'd change what I am
But without you baby, I don't give a damn
Because what I am won't change
Until you change it
To anything you want it to be
Oh, I'm putting my trust in you
And I've really got to tell you
Exactly how I feel and make you understand
That love ain't playing this time
This is for real
I thought it out the other day
And came to the conclusion
That I wouldn't last a minute
Without your love, baby
No, no, no, no, no, no
You really did show me, baby
When you walked out on me
Now I've got to make you understand
That I won't be bad, I won't be bad anymore
Oh, honey, this is for real
Everything that I'm saying
Every word that I'm saying
Is the thought of a brand new woman
I've got to have you back
So that I can make you see
That I'm not fooling around, baby
This is a brand new me
And I really got to tell it
T-E-L-L-L-L-L-L-L, yeah
And make you understand
That Miss Ree ain't playing this time
Ooh, baby this is for real
Yeah, you've got to understand me
That love ain't playing this time
Really, this is for real, sure for real
You gotta understand me
This is, now, this is, hit it now for real
I could ever need, anything indeed
But if I can't have you I'd be lost within
And everything else baby
Would really not be worth anything
And I've really got to tell you
Exactly how I feel and make you understand
That love ain't playing this time
This is for real
And if I could, I'd change what I am
But without you baby, I don't give a damn
Because what I am won't change
Until you change it
To anything you want it to be
Oh, I'm putting my trust in you
And I've really got to tell you
Exactly how I feel and make you understand
That love ain't playing this time
This is for real
I thought it out the other day
And came to the conclusion
That I wouldn't last a minute
Without your love, baby
No, no, no, no, no, no
You really did show me, baby
When you walked out on me
Now I've got to make you understand
That I won't be bad, I won't be bad anymore
Oh, honey, this is for real
Everything that I'm saying
Every word that I'm saying
Is the thought of a brand new woman
I've got to have you back
So that I can make you see
That I'm not fooling around, baby
This is a brand new me
And I really got to tell it
T-E-L-L-L-L-L-L-L, yeah
And make you understand
That Miss Ree ain't playing this time
Ooh, baby this is for real
Yeah, you've got to understand me
That love ain't playing this time
Really, this is for real, sure for real
You gotta understand me
This is, now, this is, hit it now for real
