I Can Be For Real

Telling jokes, getting laughs
But deep inside I frown
Goes out of ways
No one needs a clown
But it’s fun 'cause I know
I do what I do best
Yet I feel I’m like all the rest
Who tell me I could never be myself
(be myself)
I have too much, keep my feelings on the shelf
I tell myself no matter what they feel
I know that I can be for real
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
It’s a gift from the heart
To bring out a happy face
And to weep, that’s like a warm embrace
Yes, I love what I live, whoo
Each day seems like a trial
But what is life without a smile
They tell me I could ever be myself
I have too much, keep my feelings on the shelf
I tell myself no matter what they feel
I know that I can be for real
A funny plans what I have
And what I always will (what I always will)
I have secrets that could some reveal part of me
(ooh ooh ooh ooh)
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
(ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh)
They tell could I could never be myself
I have too much, keep my feelings on the shelf
I tell myself no matter what they feel
I know that I can be for real
I know that I can be for real
(I know that I can be for real)
(For real, for real)
For real (for real)
For real (for real)
For real (for real)
For real
