real girl

if i had one chance to

in my life again

i wouldn't make no changes

now or way back when

and if everything turns out

the way i hope it goes

but i cant wait to find out

what it is that god knows

but i don't wanna think about

what's gonna come around for me

i'll just take it day by day

'cause it's the only way

to be the best that i can be

i never pretend to be something i'm not

you get what you see

when you see what i've got

we live in the real world

i'm just a real girl

i know exactly where i stand

and all i can do is be true to myself

i don't need permission from nobody else

'cause this is the real world

i'm not a little girl

i know exactly who i am

and nothing's ever perfect

there's no guarantee

and if i knew the answers

it would put my mind at ease

so i'll just keep on going

the way i've gone so far

and maybe i'll end up

tryin' to catch a fallin star

but i don't wanna think about

what's gonna come around for me

i'll just take it day by day

'cause it's the only way

to be the best that i can be

i never pretend to be something i'm not

you get what you see

when you see what i've got

we live in the real world

i'm just a real girl

i know exactly where i stand

and all i can do is be true to myself

i don't need permission from nobody else

'cause this is the real world

i'm not a little girl

i know exactly who i am

baby this is who i am

don't need you to understand

'cause everything is right where it should be

it wont be long til you know about me

'cause i don't give a. even when i'm out of love

'cause everythings just how it should be

and it wont be long till you know about me

i never pretend to be something i'm not

you get what you see

when you see what i've got

we live in the real world

i'm just a real girl

i know exactly where i stand

and all i can do is be true to myself

i don't need permission from nobody else

'cause this is the real world

i'm not a little girl

i know exactly who i am

i never pretend to be something i'm not
