(be Yourself) Be Real Lyrics & Chords By Al Kooper

Kooper

Why do we try to be what we wanna be
If we can never be what we are?
And if we could find the way to enjoy everyday
We would have nothing to look forward to at all
There’s nothing wrong with bein’ just somebody
Cause everybody’s got some beauty deep within
And it’s not so hard to doubt what the next guy’s all about
When he lets the evil out and keeps the good stuff in

Be yourself, be real
Be real
Don't be nobody else
Be real, be real
Be real

If the woman is loving you
For the soulful little things you do
You oughta see her through
Cause she’s few & far between
And today there is many a man
Who will walk up & down this land
And never really understand what somethin’ like that means
Now I don't believe there’s a man for every woman
So if you get lucky don't be playin’ any game
And you must never hide
The little things you really feel inside
Or someday someone’s bound to go insane

Be yourself, be real
Be real
Don't be nobody else
Be real, be real
Be real
