i need real

this old town runs off booze and pills and birth control and nobody says a thing

we tune in and tune out our conversations with the tv screen

hanging off of the end of a rope coming loose

i need to get back to my roots

to the truth

to the way it feels when i hold you

i need that down south

that soul sound

you spinning like a record

i need your hand in my hand

that eye to eye reflection

both fights the mad the good the bad

the way love hurts and heals

i need real

yes i need real

oh

i need your warm skin on my cold heart on a lonely night

just lay it all on the line

let it pour out and flood me til that dam breaks

til there's nothing left inside you

what you love

what you hate

i'll take the real

leave the fake

i want the sinner and the saint

give me that down south

that soul sound

you spinning like a record

i need your hand in my hand

that eye to eye reflection

both the fights the mad the good the bad

the way love hurts and heals

i need real

oh

i need real

yeah yeah

give me that down south

that soul sound

you spinning like a record

like a record baby

i need your hand in my hand

that eye to eye reflection

both fights the mad the good the bad

the way love hurts and heals

i need real

oh

give me that real

i need real

oh

give me that real

baby.bbbbbow
