Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh
Yeah
[Verse 1]
It gets so hard to tell
Who's really here for me
Who's really down for me
Or who just down for the ride
So many issues of switchin' sides
I just cannot identify
My heart has a funny way of lettin' people in
I swear it's never my intentions
Always missin' all the signs that God be givin'
Never findin' out the truth until the ending
[Chorus]
That they pretend (Oh)
That they pretend
Please don't pretend with me, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real (Oh)
Don't play pretend (Ooh)
Don't play pretend (Oh)
Please don't pretend with me, yeah (Oh)
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real
[Verse 2]
They say that I'm weak, they say that I'm way too naive
Always tryna see, see the good in everybody (See the good in everybody)
You would probably think disappointments would've stopped me
Love just keep on bleedin', I know that God still got me
The reality hits, I learned not to expect people to give what I give
Or think how I think or love how I love
It could be too much for some of you to love the way I do
[Chorus]
Don't play pretend (No, no)
Please don't pretend (No)
Please don't pretend with me, yeah
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real (Just keep it real with me, yeah)
Don't play pretend (Don't, no)
Don't play pretend (Don't, no)
Please don't pretend with me, yeah
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real
[Bridge]
I can't help it that my heart's so big
Constantly let people in
I love without a motive (I love without a motive)
I just give and I give (Oh woah)
But I need somethin' tangible
Somethin' I can hold on to
A relationship I can feel
Somethin' real (Yeah, yeah), somethin' real (Yeah), somethin' real
[Chorus]
Don't play pretend
Don't play pretend (No, no)
Please don't pretend with me (Oh)
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real
Don't play pretend (Don't)
Please don't pretend (Don't play)
Please don't pretend with me, yeah (Please don't pretend)
Just keep it real with me (Woo)
Just keep it real (Don't play pretend, yeah)
Don't play pretend (No, no)
Don't play pretend (No, no)
Please don't pretend with me, yeah (Oh)
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real
