Hey lady can I say something to

You for a minute

Please no now before you

Take your coat off

That's it

I got something to tell you

See what I have to say is so

Very important to our relationship

Why is it that every time we go

Out on the town

We get around our friends

Man you're always talking

About what you got huh

Went out and bought for you

How much money I make

And what school our children go to

And all the fancy clothes

And big pretty cars

The big diamond rings

And them fantastic mink coats

Is you for real

No I don't think you are

Sit down no no sit down

Now don't say nothing you see

Wait a minute

That is your problem

That is your problem

You're always saying the wrong

Thing at the right time

You see I don't

I don't know how to explain this to you

The best I can tell you is

What my mother told me as I was coming up

She used to say

Son chances go 'round

She said the same people

That you meet going up

They make the same old faces coming down

Heh tell the truth

You see people today

They come out there to party

They come out to party man

They didn't come out to hear

All that jive mess you talking about

You standing up in the corner

With a bottle of champagne taking about Harry

Joe and Dick and Bobby and what they ain't got

And they live down in the lower development homes

And you won't even help

You won't even buy 'em a drink

Is that any way to meet them

If you're gonna boast boast around somebody

That has what you have

Don't make your own brothers and sisters feel bad

You see listen

I know you know what I'm talking about because

From time to time I can remember you coming

To me putting your head on my shoulder and crying

Oh papa why why

Why don't nobody wanna be my friend

You told me a long time ago you said

Papa what am I doing

I didn't wanna tell you that

I thought you had sense enough to realize

What you're doing but I see you don't

Sit down and listen to me no sit down

You see people are too sensitive today

They don't wanna hear all that jive you

Talking back

You see they don't wanna hear about what you got

'Cause they're trying to get it too

Heh tell the truth

I can't very much blame her

As much as it hurts me it hurts to see people

Going around behind our backs saying that

This woman this this woman that or

She ain't this or she ain't that

I wanna be proud of you mama

I wanna be proud of you

Listen as long as you live

As long as you live whether you're

With me or not

Be for real

Just be for real yeah

Be for real girl

Be be be for real yeah

Be for real

You shouldn't have to worry

About how you've been living good

No if you're smartly dressed

Hey baby hey baby

What you should be doing is

Getting down on your knees every night

And thanking the man above for

Being blessed right now

Oh

If you want your friends to

Think you're starting with a smile

Be for real girl

Just be be for real

Be be for real

I can't let you go on

Chasing my friends away

Because of the silly and stupid

Things you say

Yeah baby yeah baby hey baby

You better dig yourself there woman

Putting people down is less best to you

It just don't pay hey yeah

Oh

I want people today by starting with a smile

Be for real girl

I know I know I want you

To do is just be for real

Hey lady

Yeah baby yeah baby

Be for real honey

I don't want your money

Don't do it for me
