Be For Real

Leonard Cohen

Are you back in my life to stay

Or is it just for today

Oh that you're gonna need me?

If it's a thrill you're looking for

Honey, I'm flexible. Oh, yeah.

Just be for real won't you, Baby

Be for real oh, Baby

You see I, I don't want to be hurt by love again



So you see I'm not naive.

I just would like to believe

Ah what you tell me.

So don't give me the world today

And tomorrow take it away.

Don't do that to me, darling.



Just be for real won't you, Baby

Be for real won't you, Baby



Been hurt so many times

You see I, I don't want to be hurt by love again.



(I don't give a damn about the truth, Baby

Except for the naked truth. Oh yeah)



Just be for real won't you, Baby

Be for real won't you, Baby



No, no, no, no

It's just that I, I don't want to be hurt by love again.
