Superficial Love
Ruth B Lyrics

You're really cute, I must admit
I acknowledge that you are physically attractive

But I need something deeper than this
Simply looking good is not enough for me

I wanna know when I'm looking at you
I want assurance that when we interact, you're not fixating solely on surface-level qualities

That you don't only see the things you want to
I want to feel as though you can appreciate all aspects of my being, including my imperfections

'Cause I'm not perfect, I'm flawed
I am realistic and aware that I have faults

And if you don't like that, get lost
If you're not willing to accept this, then we won't work out

'Cause I don't want it if it's fake
I am not interested in anything insincere

I don't want it if it's just for show, for show
I am not looking for anything that is purely superficial

I just want it if it's real and I'm thinking I should let you know, you know
I am willing to be vulnerable and express my desire for something sincere

This superficial love thing got me going crazy
The prevalence of shallow relationships is causing me distress

Baby if you want me, then you better need me
If you're serious about pursuing a relationship, you must demonstrate genuine interest

'Cause I'm so done, not being your number one
I refuse to be involved with someone who cannot prioritize our relationship

And if you wanna keep me, then you better treat me
In order to maintain a meaningful connection, you must treat me with respect and consideration

Like a damn princess, make that an empress
I am deserving of the utmost respect and devotion

Fun at first, I won't deny
Initially, a superficial connection can be enjoyable

But I want more than just what meets the eye
However, I seek a relationship that is grounded in genuine, deep-seated emotions

I wanna know when you're looking at me
I want reassurance that you're seeing the real me

That you see deep into my personality
I desire a relationship where emotional connections are based on the depth of our personalities

'Cause I want authentic, not just for fun
I am looking for something real, not just an entertaining diversion

If this love is plastic, it'll break on us
Any superficial relationship is ultimately doomed to fail

I can feel you on my lips all the time
I am physically drawn to you, but that's not enough

But I just wanna feel you in my heart and on my mind
I want to experience a connection on a deeper, emotional level

And this ain't right
The current shallow state of our relationship is not fulfilling

This superficial love thing got me going crazy
The prevalence of shallow relationships is still causing me distress

I can feel you on my lips all the time
My physical attraction to you persists

And this ain't right, this superficial love
However, I know that shallow love is not what I truly want
