Tell me what you're feeling and what it all means
You could be defensive or open up and share your dreams
You can keep right on denying or face me and start crying
'Cause this time, when I reach out, it may be my last try
Oh baby, I want something real one time before I die

We'll cry until it's funny, baby. And laugh our selves to tears, yeah
If you're frightened honey, I'll hold you through your fears
You see, I've had some bad relationships already and
I've fooled around goin' steady
But this time when I reach out, it may be my last try
Help me, help me, baby, I want something real from you baby
I want something that, I don't have to stay alive
I want something real one time before I die

We can make love all night until sky catches fire
Keep talking for hours, I'll never get tired
Don't want you to lie, but you're such a beautiful liar

You see, I want something real from you baby
I want something that I don't have, to stay alive
I want something that I can really feel
Something that I can't conceal
I want something real one time before I die
