What's Real?

She's strutting down the street
With a diamond necklace, the size of a dime
And it looks real nice when it shines
It lights up the world around her
But it's only in her mindHe's speeding up the road in his red Ferrari
Goes so fast, always in a hurry
What's the point if ya get dead in the scurry
You'll be leaving it all behindWhat a shame it is
(Doesn't' have to be that way)
So lame it is
(Gonna have to pay to play)
A game like this
(That's the way it is)
Unless you knowWhat's real?
Is the beauty inside your soul
What's real?
Is that everyone's gonna get old
What's real?
Is the time that you take to check inNot the sale of material things, they fade
And all you're left with is how ya feel
And that's what's real
All you're left with is how ya feelShe gotta go gotta fly, doesn't stop to kiss her kid
Be good is all she said
As she's grabbing her keys and escaping her life
She said she'd be home soon but she liedAnd her kid tells her friends at school
That her mom is really cool
Smiles for the camera
Gets her face in all the magazines
It's a superficial beauty sceneAnd they keep in touch
(But she's such a lonely girl)
But it don't mean much
(Livin' in a lonely world)
And I heard her say
(Tryin' to be brave)
She can't help wonderingWhat's real?
Is the beauty inside your soul
What's real?
Is that everyone's gonna get old
What's real?
Is the time that you take to check inNot the sale of material things, they fade
And all you're left with is how ya feel
And that's what's real
All you're left with is how ya feelLove each other while you still got time
Tell your mother she's been on your mind
Kiss your brother just 'cuz he looks fine
Wear the red dress, love at first sight
Put the top down, feel the sunshineWhat's real?
Is the beauty inside your soul
What's real?
Is that everyone's gonna get old
What's real?
Is the time that you take to check inNot the sale of material things, they fade
And all you're left with is how ya feelWhat's real?
Is the beauty inside your soul
What's real?
Is that everyone's gonna get old
What's real?
Is the time that you take to check inNot the sale of material things, they fade
And all you're left with is how ya feel
And that's what's real
All you're left with is how ya feelAnd that's what's real
All you're left with is how ya feel
And that's what's real
