Not Right But Real - Patti LaBelle

I used to think that we were

Always gonna be in love

But I was so naive back then

I wasn’t wise enough

To know there ain’t nothing

In this life that’s guaranteed

You take your chances

When you let your heart lead

And heaven knows how much

I wanted to keep loving you

You let me down

When you said some things

That were untrue

So I’m giving you up

Cause there ain’t enough

Love in this world

To change my mind

We’re out of time

The dream is over

I’ve got my reasons

For the way that I feel

Suffered in silence

When I had to conceal

My honest emotions

Truth must be revealed

Might not be right but I’ve just

Got to be real

We could go on forever

Never really letting go

What’s the sense in that

When in our hearts we knew

This isn’t working

We’re on a dead end road

Don’t think my back can stand

The weight of the load

And while it’s hard for me

To admit we made a mistake

I can’t pretend no more

It’s too much to take

Time for moving on

Said all I have to say

Won’t live a lie

This is goodbye

The dream is over now

And as I walk away

Though I’m leaving

With tears and regrets

There are memories

Of you I will never forget

Shared I will never

Forget

But it’s time for me to

Do what my heart

Tells me to

I have to be strong

But right or wrong

I’ll always love you
