(Be Yourself) Be Real - Al Kooper

Why do we try to be what we wanna be

If we can never be what we are?

And if we could find the way to enjoy everyday

We would have nothing to look forward to at all

There’s nothing wrong with bein' 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

If the woman is loving you

For the soulful little things you do

You oughta see her through

Cause she’s few & far between

And today there is many a man

Who will walk up & down this land

And never really understand what somethin' like that means

Now I don’t believe there’s a man for every woman

So if you get lucky don’t be playin' any game

And you must never hide

The little things you really feel inside

Or someday someone’s bound to go insane

Be yourself, be real

Be real

Don’t be nobody else

Be real, be real

Be real
