I Can Be For Real

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
