Oh, oh
Yeah

It gets so hard to tell
Who´s really here for me

Who´s really down for me
Or who just down for the ride
So many issues of switchin´ sides
I just cannot identify
My heart has a funny way of lettin´ people in
I swear it´s never my intentions
Always missin´ all the signs that God be givin´
Never findin´ out the truth until the ending

That they pretend (Oh)
That they pretend
Please don´t pretend with me, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real (Oh)
Don´t play pretend (Ooh)
Don´t play pretend (Oh)
Please don´t pretend with me, yeah (Oh)

Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real

They say that I´m weak, they say that I´m too naive
Always tryna see, see the good in everybody (See the good in everybody)
You would probably think disappointments would´ve stopped me
Love just keep on bleedin´, I know that God still got me
The reality hits, I learned not to expect people to give what I give
Or think how I think or love how I love
It could be too much for some of you to love the way I do

Don´t play pretend (No, no)

Please don´t pretend (No)
Please don´t pretend with me, yeah
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real (Just keep it real with me, yeah)
Don´t play pretend (Don´t, no)
Don´t play pretend (Don´t, no)
Please don´t pretend with me, yeah
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real

I can´t help it that my heart´s so big
Constantly let people in
I love without a motive (I love without a motive)
I just give and I give (Oh woah)
But I need somethin´ tangible
Somethin´ I can hold on to
A relationship I can feel

Somethin´ real (Yeah, yeah), somethin´ real (Yeah), somethin´ real

Don´t play pretend
Don´t play pretend (No, no)
Please don´t pretend with me (Oh)
Just keep it real with me
Just keep it real
Don´t play pretend (Don´t)
Please don´t pretend (Don´t play)
Please don´t pretend with me, yeah (Please don´t pretend)
Just keep it real with me (Woo)
Just keep it real (Don´t play pretend, yeah)
Don´t play pretend (No, no)
Don´t play pretend (No, no)
Please don´t pretend with me, yeah (Oh)
Just keep it real with me

Just keep it real
