Lyrics for I Don't Want You To Pretend

I don't want you to pretend with me I just want you to be real, yeah I'll be better to you than you've been to yourself I'll make you be the real thing to see When you step out with me I'll make you proud to say it loud You're the best thing to happen to me I don't want you to play games on me I have passed that gaming stage, yeah Get up in age, all my time is engaged I've got a plan, a peaceful man And I want the world to know Get your heart right, get your mind right And get toward love, we'll go I don't want you to pretend with me I just want you to be real, yes I do I'll be better to you than you've been to yourself I'll make you be the real thing to see When you step out with me I'll make you proud to say it loud You're the best thing to happen to me I don't want you to play games on me I have passed that gaming stage, yeah Get up in age, all my time is engaged I've got a plan, a peaceful man And I want the world to know Get your heart right, get your mind right And get toward love, we'll go
