You don't have to promise me
A sweet life of luxury
Cause i done heard my share of prophecy
You don't have to spend your last dime
Just so we can wine and dine
Cause everything in life has its place and time

[chorus]
And all i really ever wanted
Was a man who can understand
What this woman truly needs
Just be real for me

Be real for me
Listen to me

You don't have to live up
To every expectation
You don't owe nobody an explanation
You don't have to spend your sleepless nights
Worried bout the times to come
Nothing we can't do as long as we are one

[chorus]
And all i ever really wanted
Hell boy, you got to understand
Theres nothing else in this world i need
Just be real for me

I'm so blessed to have you
Cause true companionship is hard to find
Someone to share my ups and downs
Darling, you're my peace of mind
Say you're my peace of mind
And all i ever want you to see is
You got to be real for me
Yeah be real for me
