(Be with some) Real people
I want to live my life with some real people
Yeah, yeah, real people
I'm doggonne gonna be with some real people
Throughout this great big world of ours
There are so many folks
Who just can't get involved
Now they recieved you readily
And will deceive you dreadfully
Oh yeah, it's a reality
I'll just do my best, yeah
To try and make all those
Phoney relationships dissolve
Now I suppose they can't help themselves
So I propose to surround myself
With love, and humanity, and with some
(Be with some) Real people
I want to live my life with some real people
Yeah, yeah, real people
I'm doggonne gonna be with some real people
I don't think my emotions
Can stand all of this wear and tear
They say you control your own destiny
But I can't take them getting the best
They're getting the best of me
Spread out, give me some elbow room
And some place, where I can disappear
I'm so tired of hypocrisy
And why these folks even bother me
Please just let me be
(Be with some) Real people
I want to live my life with some real people
Yeah, yeah, real people
I'm doggonne gonna be with some real people
[Repeat and fade]
