Alex G - Pretend You're A Real Man Lyrics






Uh-oh, you're a honey and you're funny;
all the girls, they never leave you alone
Uh-oh, say you only wanna see me,
so why you looking down at your phone?
sends confessions in a text message;
his phone is ringing to stay in touch with his exes,
Uh-oh, thought you had it all together,
well I hate to have to say, I was wrong.

Pretend you're a real man,
Can you do that?
Can you leave the world behind and prove that:
You are a real man
And you love me
More than any other girl above me?
You will be mine 'till your ego is you don't feel inside
Pretend you're a real man
Can you be that?
I'm dealin with a boy, but baby, it's a man I need
So put away your toys, 'cause baby, it's a man I need

Uh-oh, if your mind is undecided,
then I might decide to leave you alone
Uh-oh, can't be insecure forever
standing on the edge and dipping your toes.
All you gotta do is dive into the ocean deep
There's the life you used to live,
and then there's one with me
Uh-oh, there's 7 billion other people,
so I won't be ending up on my own.

Pretend you're a real man,
Can you do that?
Can you leave the world behind and prove that:
You are a real man
And you love me
More than any other girl above me?
You will be mine 'till your ego has died (not sure about this line)
Even if you don't feel inside (not sure about this line)
Pretend you're a real man
Can you be that?
I'm dealin with a boy, but baby, it's a man I need
So put away your toys, 'cause baby, it's a man I need

I won't be nobody's secret
If I am, then you can keep it
Say my name and then
shout it from the rooftops
Stand up, boy, I know it's in ya
I want back how much I gave ya
Tell all them other girls I'm with you

    Aleeeeeex, I will always love this album. I feel like I live your emotions everytime I hear them. I'm so sorry for what it happened with that man of the past. If you're talking about the same person I have thought about, I think that maybe you should forgive him and start from zero. You could give him a #secondchance, make it for who loves both of you. He has learned enough from this. I believe in the power of love and I always forgive who gave me beautiful experiences of life: even if these people made me hurt. We are only humans; our minds are so fragile.

    M.... L....

    Melissa's Life my condolences ❤ Alex's songwriting business is run through her etsy shop, when she has open slots she announces it on social media so you'll probably have to wait for the next round.

  26. I.... M....

    Hey Alex G, every song from you blessed brain is a great gift to our hearts!

  27. M.... L....

    One of my favorite songs from the album. My first fave is Warning signs. Can you do an acoustic version of that?

  28. A.... S....

    always falling in love with your smile..

  29. A.... A....

    love you #AlexG

  30. S.... E....

    This is a great song! Thanks for sharing your creativity!

  42. C.... E....

    YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG !!! So goooood ! Love you ♥

  43. A.... L....

    looooooove it😍 your music always touches my heart it's just amazing

  44. E.... S....

    All the songs from the album are about Tyler, right?

    E.... S....

    Elias Schnetzer This is an old song when she was friend with him

    E.... S....

    But who does she mean in the description?

    E.... S....

    It is believed by me at least a few songs (mainly this one and "Say What You Drink") were written about a relationship with Tyler. Alex is passed that now and I believe she is much better the way she is now, and I'm happy for her!

  45. Y.... ....

  55. R.... S....

    Awesome! This was always one of my favourite tracks on the album. 3 years later and the whole album is still on my phone (With tiny memory), kinda goes to show how good it is.. even if it does look out of place considering everything else is metal. But it is worth the space! And great job here Alex, your voice sounded incredible. :)

  56. C.... R....
