Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

This Is For Real

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 anythin'

And I've really got to tell you

Exactly how I feel

And make you understand

That love ain't playin' this time

This is for real, real

And if I could, I'd change what I am

But without you baby, I don't give a damn

'Coz what I am won't change until you change it

To anythin' you want it to be

Oh, I'm putting my trust in you

And I really got to tell it

Exactly how I feel

Make you understand that

Love ain't playin' 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

Everythin' that I'm sayin'

Every word that I'm sayin'

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 foolin' around, baby

This is a brand [?]

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 playin' this time

Ooh, baby this is for real

Yeah, you've got to understand me

That love ain't playin' this time

Really, this is for real, sure for real

You gotta understand me

This is, now, this is, hit it now

For real
