Lyrics
Are You For Real?
1
Guess you don't really know me
what this girl's all about
I maybe young
but I am mature enough to figure you out
Yes I do love to party
A sip of wine or two
but at the end of the night
My bed isn't calling you
Chorus
I couldn't care less 'bout your fast car
Designer clothes won't get you far
I don't want the glitter or the gold
the casino leaves me cold
Just need to feel
Are you for real
2
Why do you hide behind
all of these empty shells
you're not convincing
Cos I've been listening
you're only fooling yourself
living another's life
you don't know who you are
time to break out time to break free
of this slave mentality
Chorus
I could less bout your fast car
Designer clothes won't get you far
I don't want the glitter or the gold
the casino leaves me cold
Just need to feel
Are you for real
mid8
I want someone who leads
not one who's lost in fear
someone who leaves the following
to social media
Chorus
I could less bout your fast car
Designer clothes won't get you far
I don't want the glitter or the gold
the casino leaves me cold
Just need to feel
Are you for real
Chorus
I could less bout your fast car
Designer clothes won't get you far
I don't want the glitter or the gold
the casino leaves me cold
Just need to feel
Are you for real
Are you for real
