[Chorus]

Real people

I want to live my life

With some real people

Yeah, yeah, real people

I'm doggone gonna be with

Some real people


[Verse 1]

Throughout this great big world of ours

There are so many folks who just can't get involved

Now they receive you readily and will deceive you dreadfully

Oh, yeah, it's a reality

I'll just do my best, yeah, to to try and make all those

Phony relationships dissolve

Now I suppose they could help themselves

So I grow close to surround myself with love and humanity


[Chorus]

And with the real people

I want to live my life

With some real people

Yeah, yeah, real people

I'm doggone gonna be with

Some real people


[Verse 2]

I don't think my emotions

Can stand all of this wear and tear

They say you control your own destiny

But I can't take them getting the best, they're getting the best of me

Spread out, give me some elbow room

And some place where I can disappear

I'm so tired of hypocrisy and why these folks even bother me

Please, just let me be


[Chorus]

Be with some real people

I want to live my life

With some real people

Yeah, yeah, real people

I'm doggone gonna be with

Some real people

Be with some real people

I want to live my life

With some real people

Yeah, yeah, real people

I'm doggone gonna be with

Some real people

Real people

I want to live my life

With some real people

Yeah, yeah, real people

I'm doggone gonna be with

Some real people

{Guitar solo}


[Chorus]

Be with some real people

I want to live my life

With some real people

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Real, real people

I'm doggone gonna be with, be with

Some real people

Be with some real people

I want to live my life

With some real people

Yeah, yeah

Real people

I'm doggone gonna be with

Some real people
