Something Real (From "How to Build a Better Boy") Songtext
von China Anne McClain

I thought I knew what I wanted, ′til I got it
Turned around, now the pressure's on in the moment
I was chasin′ a fairytale, until I caught it
Took a leap of faith, now I'm back where I started out

This perfect life somehow doesn't really feel right
I learned tonight, that I—

I′d trade it all for somethin′ real, somethin' that′s raw, somethin' that I, I, I can feel
Flaws and all
Now, here′s the deal, I don't want nothin′ 'less it's somethin′ real (Somethin′ real)

I used to get so caught up findin' all the answers
Always liked to play it smart, never takin′ chances
Had to see for myself to believe in magic
Now I know inside my heart I already had it all

This perfect life is an un-perfect puzzle sometimes
I learned tonight, that I—


I'd trade it all for somethin′ real, somethin' that′s raw, somethin' that I, I, I can feel
Flaws and all
Now, here's the deal, I don′t want nothin′ 'less it′s somethin' real

All along I was posin′ for the cameras
Focused on a dream world driven by the sand man
Now I'm awake and life is so much better
Let′s go crazy now, all of us together
Let's get real (Let's get real)
Let′s get real

I′d trade it all for somethin' real, somethin′ that's raw, somethin′ that I, I, I can feel
Flaws and all
Now, here's the deal, I don′t want nothin' 'less it′s somethin′ real (Oh, yeah)

Oh oh ooh oh
Ooh, somethin' real, somethin′ real, somethin' real
Oh oh ooh oh (Eh, eh, yeah)
Somethin′ real
