(Be Yourself) Be Real Songtext
von Al Kooper

Why do we try to be what we want to be
If we can never be what we are?
And if we could find the way to enjoy every day
We would have nothing to look forward to at all
There′s nothing wrong with being just somebody
'Cause everybody′s got some beauty deep within
And it's not so hard to doubt what the next guy's all about
When he lets the evil out and keeps the good stuff in

Be yourself, be real, be real
Don′t be nobody else
Be real, be real, be real


Now listen to me
If the woman is loving you for the soulful little things you do
You ought to see her through ′cause she's few and far between
And today there′s many a man who would walk up and down this land
And never really understand what something like that means
Now I don't believe there′s a man for every woman
So if you get lucky, don't be playing any game
And you must never hide the little things you really feel inside
Or someday someone′s bound to go insane
That's right

Be yourself, be real, be real
Don't be nobody else
Be real, be real, be real

Oh, be real
