Let's Be Real
D.O. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Yeah
Oooo Oo Oo Oooooo
Dah dah da daaahhh
Dah dah dah dah dah da dah
Quicksand cover both thighs
Seeing clear close both eyes
Wear a suit of pain bow ties
Swim the sea of love low tide

You scream you never fall in love again
Drunk off lust trust stumbles in
So you go back on your covenant
Road crumbling... but you wanna win
All the words you've said to me were from
Your heart and soul at least that's what you swore
So I took a leap of faith and hung on every breath
In between each word
How can I deny my minds eye?
When it's tellin me you're full of lies
Now my sanity's on shaky ground
My spirit's super leap single bound
Oooo Oo Oo Oooooo
Oo Oo Oo OoooooOoo
Let (Let) Me (Me) Be (Be)!
Oooo Oo Oo Oooooo
Dah dah da daaahhh
Set me free please let me be!
Standing on emotional banana peels I just know
I'm bound to slip and fall
I believe in doing what you FEEL never what you think
So I spit it raw
Truth is the key to the lock
Break these chains paparazz
PICTURE me in the wind breeze by
Set me free let me be
Put me out of my emotional misery
No mystery the universe history
Is using energy to place you where you need to be
If love's the key where's the door?
Let me in keep me out either or
Spending too much time trying to fix a broken
Heart can leave you poor
Oooo Oo Oo Oooooo
Oo Oo Oo OoooooOoo
Let (Let) Me (Me) Be (Be)!
Oooo Oo Oo Oooooo

Dah dah da daaahhh
Set me free please let me be!
