Something Real - From “How to Build a Better Boy”
[Verse 1: Kelli Berglund]
I thought I knew what I wanted
‘Til I got it
Turned around, now the pressure's on
In the moment
I was chasing a fairytale
Until I caught it
Took a leap of faith
Now, I'm back where I started out

[Pre-Chours 1: Kelli Berglund]
This perfect delight
Somehow, doesn't really feel right
I learned tonight
That I...

[Chours: China Anne McClain & Kelli Berglund]
I'd trade it all
For something real
Something that's raw
Something that I-I-I can feel
Flaws and all
Now, here's the deal
I don't want nothin'
‘Less it's something real (Something real)
[Verse 2: China Anne McClain]
I used to get so caught up
Findin' all the answers
Always liked to play it smart
Never taking chances
Had to see for myself
To believe in magic
Now, I know inside my heart
I already had it all

[Pre-Chours 2: China Anne McClain]
This perfect delight
Is an un-perfect puzzle sometimes
I learned tonight
That I...

[Chours: China Anne McClain & Kelli Berglund]
I'd trade it all
For something real
Something that's raw
Something that I-I-I can feel
Flaws and all
Now, here's the deal
I don't want nothing
‘Less it's something real
[Bridge: Kelli Berglund & China Anne McClain]
All along
I was posin' for the cameras
Focused on a dream world
Driven by the sand man
Now, I'm awake
And life is so much better
Let's go crazy, now
All of us together
Something real
(Something real)
Eh, eh, eh
(Not unless it's something real)
Something real
Eh, eh, eh

[Chours: Kelli Berglund & China Anne McClain]
I'd trade it all
For something real
Something that's raw
Something that I, I, I can feel
Flaws and all (flaws and all)
Now here's the deal (deal)
I don't want nothing
‘Less it's something real
(Oh, yeah)
[Outro]
Oh, something real
Something real
Something real
Eh, eh, yeah
Something real!
