Real people
I want to live my life
With some real people, yeah, yeah
Real people
I’m doggone gonna be with
Some real people

Throughout this great big world of ours
There are so many folks who just can’t get involved
Now they receive you readily and we’ll deceive you dreadfully
Oh, yeah, it’s reality

I’ll just do my best, yeah
To try and make all those phony relationships dissolve
Now I suppose they could help themselves
So I propose to surround myself with love and humanity

And with some real people
I want to live my life
With some real people, yeah, yeah
Real people
I’m doggone gonna be with
Some real people

I don’t think my emotion can stand all this wear and tear
They say you control your own destiny
But I can’t take them getting the best
They’re getting the best of me

Spread out, give me some elbow room and some place where I can disappear
I’m so tired of hypocrisy
Any why these folks even bother me
Please, just let me be

Be with some real people
I want to live my life
With some real people, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Real (Real) people
I’m doggone gonna be with (Be with)
Some real people

Real people
I want to live my life (Live my life)
With some real people, yeah, yeah
Real people
I’m doggone gonna be with
Some real people

Real people
I want to live my life
With some real people, yeah, yeah
Real people
I’m doggone gonna be with
Some real people

Be with some real people
I want to live my life
With some real people, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Real (Real) people
I’m doggone gonna be with (Be with)
Some real people

Be with some real people
I want to live my life (Live my life)
With some real people, yeah, yeah
Real people
I’m doggone gonna be with
Some real people

Real people
