I Can Be For Real

(Leon Sylvers III) Telling jokes, getting laughs But deep inside I frown Goes out of ways No one needs a clown But it's fun 'cause I know I do what I do best Yet I feel I'm like all the rest Who tell me I could never be myself (be myself) I have too much, keep my feelings on the shelf I tell myself no matter what they feel I know that I can be for real (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh) It's a gift from the heart To bring out a happy face And to weep, that's like a warm embrace Yes, I love what I live, whoo Each day seems like a trial But what is life without a smile They tell me I could ever be myself I have too much, keep my feelings on the shelf I tell myself no matter what they feel I know that I can be for real A funny plans what I have and what I always will (what I always will) I have secrets that could some reveal part of me (ooh ooh ooh ooh) (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh) (ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh) They tell could I could never be myself I have too much, keep my feelings on the shelf I tell myself no matter what they feel I know that I can be for real I know that I can be for real (I know that I can be for real) (For real, for real) For real (for real) For real (for real) For real (for real) For real
