It's Been Real - Betty Wright

Baby, I hope we can still be friend

And I really hate to see this affair come to an end

I dunno, it sure was fun

It just seems I’m not the one

I have always hated goodbyes

There’s no escaping the tears that fall from my eyes

Every time you’re in love you say forever

Forever isn’t long, so never say never

Sure didn’t take too long

For everything right to go wrong

Women all over the world asked me to wright this song

Just a little something to sing when the love is gone

It’s been real

But the emptiness, I can’t conceal

It’s been real

And I hope you have a heart to understand just how I feel

(It's been real)

That’s the whole deal

Sure been real

It’s not because we did not try

Something just doesn’t click between you and I

You keep straining to keep it together

Instead it’s falling apart, not getting any better

It’s your groove cold, fast

Only a season, did it last

No it’s not another man, or a greener grass

I just want more from life than flash and cash

It’s been real

Yeah, the emptiness, I no longer can conceal

It’s been real

I hope you find it in your heart to understand just how I feel

It’s been real

That’s the whole deal

Sure been real

Baby we got together for all the wrong reasons

You should be with someone cuz you want 'em

Not just cuz you need 'em

And we’re older now, I guess we better face the music

Love is for all, not forever

You might lose it

It’s been real

I hope you have enough love in your heart to understand just how I feel

Sure been real

That’s the whole deal

Sure been real

Maybe you could stop by sometime when you just have some time to kill

It’s been real

I just don’t see us staying together

Things ain’t getting no better
