Real Livin'

I think that you're lonely
It blew my mind to realize that
Out of everyone I know
They want you the most
But you don't seem to stick

Aren't you tired of exerting
Yourself to be something they want
And if everything goes right
You might stick through the night
But in the morning you're back to the start

You can't say what you need
But you can say what you don't like
That ain't enough for real livin
But it should get you by tonight
It should get you by tonight

Maybe your whole life you've been acting
Gotten so good you can't tell
Who you are or what you want
So you want what they want
And now you're somebody else

You can't say what you need
But you can say what you don't like
That ain't enough for real livin
But it should get you by tonight
It should get you by tonight

Baby you're blessed with good lookin
Or maybe it's more like a curse
Cause when everyone's a yes
They give and you get
But their stories get better than yours

You can't say what you need
But you can say what you don't like
That won't soak up your lonely baby
But it should get you by tonight
It should get you by tonight
