This Is For Real

Aretha Franklin · Music Of Aretha Franklin [2010]

If I wanted to, I'd have anything



I could ever need, anything indeed



But if I can't have you I'd be lost within



And everything else baby



Would really not be worth anythin'



And I've really got to tell you



Exactly how I feel



And make you understand



That love ain't playin' this time



This is for real, real



And if I could, I'd change what I am



But without you baby, I don't give a damn



'Coz what I am won't change until you change it



To anythin' you want it to be



Oh, I'm putting my trust in you



And I really got to tell it



Exactly how I feel



Make you understand that



Love ain't playin' this time



This is for real



I thought it out the other day



And came to the conclusion



That I wouldn't last a minute



Without your love, baby



No, no, no, no, no, no



You really did show me, baby



When you walked out on me



Now I've got to make you understand



That I won't be bad, I won't be bad anymore



Oh, honey, this is for real



Everythin' that I'm sayin'



Every word that I'm sayin'



Is the thought of a brand new woman



I've got to have you back



So that I can make you see



That I'm not foolin' around, baby



This is a brand [Incomprehensible]



And I really got to tell it



T E L L L L L L L, yeah



And make you understand



That Miss Ree ain't playin' this time



Ooh, baby this is for real



Yeah, you've got to understand me



That love ain't playin' this time



Really, this is for real, sure for real



You gotta understand me



This is, now, this is, hit it now



For real
