Real Girl

[Verse 1]
If I had one chance to in my life again
I wouldn't make no changes, now or way back when, yeah
And if everything turns out the way I hope it goes
But I can't wait to find out what it is that God knows

[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be

[Chorus]
I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am

[Verse 2]
And nothing's ever perfect, there's no guarantee
And if I knew the answers, it would put my mind at ease, no-no
So I'll just keep on going the way I've gone so far
And maybe I'll end up tryin' to catch a fallin' star, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be

[Chorus]
I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am

[Bridge]
Maybe this is who I am, don't need you to understand
'Cause everything is right where it should be
And it won't be long till you know about me
'Cause I don't give up even when I'm out on love
'Cause everythings just how it should be
And it won't be long till you know about me

[Chorus]
I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else (No)
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am
I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am

[Outro]
I know exactly who I am
