[Intro]
Yeah
Genuine (C'mon)
Yeah
Yeah
Oh, yeah (Uh-huh)
Genuine
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-oh (Yeah, c'mon)
[Verse 1]
I see you passing by, don't know where, I don't know why
You chose to go the way that I shall go, and now
You've been a friend of mine for many years, for anytime
But you just aren't you today, so what's on your mind?
And you just won't speak about it, think about it, be about it
Gotta make yourself aware that you're gonna stray
You're trying so hard to fit in
[Chorus]
What you need is something genuine
What you want is something real
What you need is something truthful
I know you do, I know you do
I know you do
Because I need it too
What you need-what you need, what you want-what you want
What you need-what you need (Oh, yeah), is something genuine
[Verse 2]
You cry yourself to sleep, sleep at night, but once the night is gone
And you prepare to face a brand new day
You hide yourself behind a mastermind, you're in disguise
It's as if you're trying to put a mask on your pain
You don't know who you are, what you're about, where are you now?
You're becoming someone that you don't want to be
You're trying so hard to fit in (Trying so hard)
[Chorus]
What you need is something genuine (Genuine)
What you want is something real (Real)
What you need is something truthful
I know you do, I know you do
I know you do
Because I need it too
What you need-what you need, what you want-what you want
What you need-what you need is something genuine
[Bridge]
And He loves you for who you are now and who you will be
Don't fear living in truth is reality
I don't have all the answers, but I know one who does
And I know there's freedom in truth, I go to Him because
What you need is something genuine (Genuine, yeah)
Oh, yeah (I know you do), yeah-yeah
What you need is something truthful (Genuine)
What you need-what you need, what you want-what you want (Yeah)
What you need-what you need
[Chorus]
What you want is something genuine
Who He is is someone real
What He gives is something truthful
It's what He has, it's who He is
It's what He is
And I I need Him too
What you need-what you need (I need him, too), what you want-what you want (What you want)
What you need-what you need (Hey), is something genuine
What He has is something genuine (This is what He has, this is what you need)
Who he is is someone real (Real)
What you need is something truthful (Oh, yeah)
It's what He has, it's who He is
It's what He is
And I I need Him too
What you need-what you need (I need Him, too), what you want-what you want
What you need-what you need (You know what you want) is something genuine
[Outro]
Do you know what you need? Do you know what you need?
I know what you need
'Cause I
I need it too
Something genuine
He is something genuine
