BE REAL

Lay your cards down on the table
And let me know you're real
I might choose to give you part of me
But please don't ever steal.

For getting what has been given you
by means of flagrant lies
is just the same as stealing
I hope you realize

I'll give myself more freely
when I feel safe and at ease
when we can take it slow and smooth
and give me time to tease

Yes, time to test the waters
to ensure that I won't drown
that safety net of  feelings
when I come tumbling down

Don't hide behind a mask of tricks
Don't bait me with pure honey
Don't offer me what you don't have
Don't flash around your money

If all you want, is friendship
When you are feeling lonely
Then tell me so, don't be afraid
I want the truth and only

Tell me what your motives are
and  what  you really crave
be real, and never hide yourself
don't be deceptions slave

If what you crave, is physical
a casual affair
Who knows,  I might want one too.
I'd glady take you there.

If I give my body, or soul
to you, or anyone
I want to know,  that you've been real
and not just having fun

So keep your lines of seeking love
and wanting me forever
Unless you really mean it,  Sir
be real, and not just clever
