I'm Real
Unveiling Love's Pursuit: Lester Getz's Heartfelt Odyssey
Lyrics
Don’t be acting like, you ain’t ever looking over and batting eyes, you know when you turn around I
Expressing awareness of someone's attention and attraction.
Follow your outline down around your back and thighs,
Describing visual admiration of the person's body.
And you ain’t even gotta work it, no, you make my mind put the work in, oh,
Acknowledging the impact of the person's presence on the speaker's mind.
I’ll play it straight to complement your curves, just let me work, let me impress you first to show your
Expressing a willingness to appreciate and complement the person's physical attributes.
Worth it.
Affirming the value and importance of the person.
Before you go and stop this game,
Suggesting a potential interruption or change in the relationship dynamic.
And remind me about what’s-his-name, I know what’s at stake is not the same for us, but I know
Addressing potential competition and emphasizing the unique connection between the speaker and the person.
There’s a lot to gain, I ain’t choose you for the hell of it and the fact that your tied up is irrelevant,
Stating that the speaker's choice is intentional and not influenced by external factors.
The first time we exchanged a glance my rib cage lost a resident, It’s been the same way ever since,
Describing the lasting impact of the initial interaction on the speaker's emotions.
I didn’t mean for my heart to jump ship,
Admitting unexpected feelings of affection.
With three hearts your blood must pump quick,
Commenting on the person's resilience or strength.
Keep mine, I’ll be fine as long as you promise to grant my one wish,
Asking for a promise to fulfill a specific desire.
I ain’t asking you just to dump his,
Clarifying that the speaker is not requesting the person to end their current relationship.
All I want each day is one grin,
Expressing a simple desire for the person's happiness.
’cause each time your cheeks rise, you give me something that I just can’t quit,
Highlighting the joy the person brings to the speaker's life.
You don’t think you want it right now but you will, You don’t think I’m sticking around but I’m real. Yeah I’m real, real, real.
Assuring the person that they will desire the speaker over time, emphasizing the speaker's authenticity.
This ain’t my first rodeo, rodeo, rodeo,
Referencing past experiences in relationships.
Your Romeo better hope he don’t
Addressing a hypothetical rival, warning them to avoid mistakes.
Make one mistake,
Stressing the importance of not making errors in the relationship.
‘Cause I’m taking notes,
Indicating a vigilant observation of the person's current relationship.
He best behave or maybe I won’t,
Suggesting consequences if the person's current partner misbehaves.
I’ll take my time, ain’t wasting mine
Expressing patience and reluctance to waste time.
But I hate the days we ain’t together, the chase is fine but it’s whatever,
Acknowledging the enjoyable aspect of the chase but expressing a desire for more.
Won’t you let me get to know you better,
Asking for a deeper connection and understanding.
Ain’t trying to rush this but I know the glove fits, I get that you’re wearing some that you’re snug in, but
Acknowledging the person's current commitment but expressing confidence in a future connection.
This ain’t a feeling that I can give up, shit, I’m way past lovesick,
Describing the intensity of the speaker's feelings.
And I ain’t trying to home wreck,
Rejecting the intention to disrupt the person's existing home life.
‘Cause I don’t think you really got a home yet, and I don’t think you even pay your own rent, so there ain’t a contract to be broken for the moment, I just want to be alone with you, ain’t got no agenda, just
Observing the person's current situation and expressing a desire for intimate moments.
Trying to spend a little time watching those lips move, ok maybe I got motives too
Admitting personal motives but asserting the sincerity of the emotions.
But that don’t mean this ain’t real, shit
Reiterating the authenticity of the speaker's feelings.
Don’t tell me that you don’t feel this,
Challenging the person to acknowledge their own feelings.
Don’t make me pack for no guilt trip,
Warning against inducing guilt in the speaker.
All I want for now is to chill with you.
Expressing a desire for casual time together without immediate commitment.
You don’t think you want it right now but you will, You don’t think I’m sticking around but I’m real. Yeah I’m real, real, real.
Reiterating the speaker's authenticity and commitment.
