show me the real you

Singer:bedingfield, daniel

hey remember me?

hard to forget

right?

insistent

demanding

when we were both sixteen

i remember you in the spotlight

you seemed so in control

hiding behind your wall

have you ever met somebody who could

unmask you

the way you unmask me

guidelines and sub-routines

you make me forget the things

that i put in place to save my face

but i'm not sure if it's a face worth saving

show me the real you

and i'll show you the real me

can we make a second first impression baby

show me the real you

and i'll show you the real me

can we make a second first impression

baby

maybe

maybe

yeah

seven years have past

now here i come

i caught the briefest glimpse

i haven't seen it since

when you smile at me

where'd you smile from

from insecurity

but you're secure with me

have you never let somebody in to

unmask you

the way you unmask me

i know it's dangerous

please don't be afraid because

this is your life i used to live

now i know it's not a life worth living

show me the real you

and i'll show you the real me

can we make a second first impression baby

show me the real you

and i'll show you the real me

can we make a second first impression

baby

maybe

maybe

yeah

i know i'm acting stupid

can we make a second first impression

i want us to be honest

open

show your face to me

show me the real you

and i'll show you the real me

can we make a second first impression baby

show me the real you

and i'll show you the real me

can we make a second first impression

baby

maybe

maybe

yeah
