Real One
Discovering Authentic Love: Real One by Eliz Banks
Lyrics
Hey, hey, do you think that you're here to stay for a pretty long while
The singer wonders if the person intends to stay around for a significant period.
Wait, wait, I like the way you're treating me, baby, I want you around these days
Expresses a desire for the person's continued presence and affection.
Gotta question who loving on you, crazy as it sounds
Questions who else might be in love with the person, despite it seeming irrational.
But in you, I found a real one
Acknowledges finding someone genuine and sincere.
Does time fly by when you're falling in love? Feels like that sometimes
Reflects on whether time seems to pass quickly when falling in love.
I search, I don't find, but sometimes all I need is standing right by my side
Despite searching without success, the realization dawns that what's needed may already be present.
Your tenderness consumes me.
Expresses being engulfed or overwhelmed by the person's affection and care.
I wanna be yours truly
Expresses a desire to be genuinely theirs.
I know you see right through me
Recognizes that the person understands them deeply.
When what you want ain't what you need
Highlights the disparity between desires and actual necessities.
Put dreams aside for reality
Implies sacrificing dreams for what's realistic or feasible.
Give yourself some space and time, baby, you gon' get your sign
Encourages the person to give themselves time; eventually, they'll find clarity.
Hey, hey, do you think that you're here to stay for a pretty long while
Similar to line 1, questioning the person's longevity in their life.
Wait, wait, I like the way you're treating me, baby, I want you around these days
Reiterates a desire for the person's presence and positive treatment.
Gotta question who loving on you, crazy as it sounds
Doubts and questions who else might be loving the person, despite it seeming irrational.
But in you, I found a real one
Reaffirms finding authenticity and sincerity in the person.
Money, diamonds, and things don't faze me
Material possessions do not impress or matter; seeking deeper qualities in a partner.
I need a man who gon' pray for me on a daily
Desires a partner who prays regularly for their well-being.
Are you the type to just tell me that I am crazy
Asks if the person will dismiss their concerns or genuinely understand and address them.
Or find out what's been going on with your baby
Questions if the person will investigate and understand the singer's emotions and situation.
Boo, you are so true
Expresses admiration and confirmation of the person's authenticity.
A blessing when I found you
Considers the person a blessing upon finding them.
I can't get over you and the way that you treat me
Struggles to move on from the person due to their exceptional treatment.
In love with you and all the ways you see me
Expresses being in love with the person and appreciating their perception of the singer.
Never knew somebody who could please me
Never encountered someone who pleases the singer as much as this person does.
Don't have to force my love, I give it freely
There's no need to force affection or love; freely given to the person.
Hey, hey, do you think that you're here to stay for a pretty long while
Repeats the questioning of the person's longevity in the singer's life.
Wait, wait, I like the way you treating me, baby, I want you around these days
Reiterates the desire for the person's positive treatment and continued presence.
Gotta question who loving on you, crazy as it sounds
Similar to line 3, questioning who else might love the person, despite it seeming irrational.
But in you, I found a real one

But in you, I found a real one
Reaffirms the discovery of finding a genuine and sincere person.
But in you, I found a real one

But in you, I found a real one
Repeated confirmation of finding a genuine and sincere individual.
