M People › Lyrics › Precious Pearl

Gotta be real, gotta be real
Gotta be real, gotta be real, so real
Gotta be real, gotta be real
Gotta be real, gotta be real, so real

Life is larger than life for this girl
A cartoon world spinning round
You're so funky and warm, I need you
To help me keep my feet on the ground

Got to know this is real, this is you
Don't need no fake, held up to the light
Fact not fiction, true life this is
You're not two ships that pass in the night

Make me feel so strong
Using me is wrong
Make me feel so strong
Is this where I belong?

Is this for real?
How do you feel?
(Tell me boy)
Is this for real?
So take me, hold me
Make me feel like I'm your precious pearl

In this theater of dreams, I tell you
Ain't gonna be your drama queen
Lying here in your arms
I can tell, I think you know just what I mean

I just want peace of mind and that's why
I close my eyes and make a wish
Do I feel like heather to you?
Or a kiss upon your satellite dish?

Make me feel so strong
Using me is wrong
Make me feel so strong
Is this where I belong?

Is this for real?
How do you feel?
(Tell me boy)
Is this for real?
So take me, hold me
Make me feel like I'm you precious pearl

Gotta be real, gotta be real
Gotta be real, gotta be real
Gotta be real, gotta be real
Gotta be real, gotta be real

Gotta be real, gotta be real
Gotta be real, gotta be real, so real
Gotta be real, gotta be real
Gotta be real, gotta be real, so real

Gotta be real, gotta be real
Gotta be real, gotta be real, so real
Gotta be real, gotta be real
Gotta be real, gotta be real, so real

Is this for real?
How do you feel?
(Tell me boy)
Is this for real?
So take me, hold me
Make me feel like I'm you precious pearl

Is this for real?
How do you feel?
(Tell me boy)
Is this for real?
So take me, hold me
Make me feel like I'm you precious pearl
