This is Not Real
George Michael feat. Mutya Buena Lyrics

Don't kiss me, darling
I want to talk instead of kissing you.

I want you to hear the things I say
I want you to listen to me.

I loved you in my way
I loved you in a way that's unique to me.

But you know I'm gonna leave you
I'm going to leave you even though you know it.

The clock was always ticking
Time was always running out.

And your heart,
Your emotions,

Yes I know your heart is always on the run
Are always unstable.

I hate what I've become
I don't like who I've become.

But I'm still gonna leave you
I'm still going to leave you even though I don't want to.

And I don't think you should stay for the night
You shouldn't stay with me tonight.

Baby you know that my flesh is weak
I have weaknesses.

You know I simply
I just,

I cannot sleep without you
I can't sleep when you're not there.

My heart has simply nowhere to go
My heart feels lost without you.

Nothing to hold
There's nothing left for me to hold onto.

Those tears you're crying
The tears you're shedding.

Time and time again you take me back in baby
You keep taking me back, even though we have problems.

You don't have to make it plain
You don't have to state the obvious.

This is not real love
Our relationship isn't built on love.

Look at us dancing baby
Let's dance and put on a show.

Let's dance and show them all
Let's dance and show everyone how close we are.

(Dance and show them all)
(Show everyone how close we are.)

The lies have worked so far
We've been able to pretend our relationship is real for a while.

So we go on deceiving
We keep deceiving ourselves and others.

But darling don't you know the time
Don't you know that time is running out?

Baby, look at yourself, holding back the tide
You're blocking what's happening naturally.

Like you've got something else up your sleeve
Like you're hiding something.

That's why I've got to leave
That's why I have to leave you.

And I don't think you should stay here tonight
You shouldn't spend the night with me tonight.

(Baby don't you know that my flesh is weak, you know)
(You know I have weaknesses.)

I simply I cannot sleep without you
I just can't sleep without you there.

But someday I'll have nothing to show
But one day I won't have anything to prove.

(Nothing to show)
(No one to impress.)

(Nothing to show)
(Nothing to prove.)

I've nothing to hold
I have nothing to hold onto.

Oh, baby, crying
You're crying, baby.

All those simple things that won't come again
All those simple moments that we can't get back.

Oh do I have to make it plain
Do I have to spell it out?

This is not real love
Our relationship isn't real love.

And I said this is not real love
I said our relationship isn't real love.

Real love
True love.

Baby it don't glisten and shine the way it used to
Our love isn't as bright as it used to be.

(real love)
(True love)

Baby think of all the promises I made on the day that I seduced you
Remember all the things I promised you when we first got together.

Baby don't wait for me like some angel of tragedy
Don't wait for me like a tragic angel.

I have to set you free
I have to let you go.

Darling you should be long gone, oh long gone by now
You should've left a long time ago.

You should be with someone, someone
You should be with someone else.

Glisten and shine
Appear attractive and alluring.

You promised me
You made a promise to me.

You've gotta face it woman, you ain't ever gonna change me
You have to accept that you can't change me.

Where will I go, what do I know
Where will I go and what do I really know?

About life without you
About living without you.

You promised me you'd never leave me, no
You promised that you wouldn't leave.

This is not real love
Our relationship isn't true love.
