Do You See the Real Me

DO YOU KNOW ME THE REAL ME?
WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME WHAT DO YOU SEE?
MY HARD OUTSIDE OR THE WORK THAT I DO?
THE MONEY I MAKE OR WHAT I GIVE YOU?
THERE IS A SOFT HEART HERE IN MY CHEST
AND A BUSY MIND THAT NEVER RESTS
MY FEELINGS AS I EXPRESS THEM TO YOU
ARE ALL ME AND ALL TRUE
THERE ARE NO LINES AND NO GAMES HERE
I KEEP IT REAL AND WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR
I JUST WANT LOVE CAREING AND TIME
I NEED A WOMEN THAT I CAN CALL MINE
NO WANTS NO NEEDS FOR ANYONE BUT ME
UNDERSTANDING NOT CONTROLING JUST LETTING ME BE
QUALITY NOT QUANTITY ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU
AND IT DOSENT MATTER WHAT I SAY OR DO
BECAUSE WHEN I LOOK AT YOU, YOU JUST KNOW
I DONT HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE IT SHOWS
AN UNSPOKEN BOND AN UNTAINTED LOVE
KNOWING TO PEOPLE CAN FIT LIKE A GLOVE
ARE MY EXSPECTATIONS SET TO HIGH?
SOME NIGHTS I WONDER AS I LY AWAKE AND CRY...
