Elliott Yamin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When every word that you’re saying just ain't true, no
Well baby my time is way too expensive to waste one minute more
Spare me all the lies, what kind of fool do you take me for?
Let’s get to what’s real, lets get to whats real
You’ll never be mine, stop wasting my time, girl what is the deal? (come on)
Let’s get to what’s real, (let’s get to what’s real, baby) let’s get to what’s true
Well, I, thought what we had was as good as gold
Something time could never, never tear down
So why’d you leave me standing out here in the cold?
When you know how hard I tried but these tears are getting old
Let’s get to what’s real, lets get to whats real
You’ll never be mine, stop wasting my time, girl what is the deal?(come on)
Let’s get to what’s real, (let’s get to what’s real, baby) let’s get to what’s true
‘Cos I’m all cried out over you
Spare me all the lies, heard it one too many times, I don’t want no more
No more fairytales, this is where our story ends
Let’s get to what’s real, lets get to whats real
You’ll never be mine, stop wasting my time, girl what is the deal? (come on)
Let’s get to what’s real, (let’s get to what’s real, baby) let’s get to what’s true
‘Cos I’m all cried out over you
Let’s get to what’s real, lets get to whats real
You’ll never be mine, stop wasting my time, girl what is the deal? (come on)
Let’s get to what’s real, (let’s get to what’s real, baby) let’s get to
What’s true
‘Cos I’m all cried out over you
Spin me all the lies, heard it too many times
