For Real Lyrics

I can run, I can race for hours
And hours and don't stop
I can float
I can fly us to the highest mountain tops

I can breathe you, I can drink in your laugh
I can, l can live on your smile
I can trip and if I can fall into your arms
I can stay there my whole life

I can live, I can love, I can be better with you
For real
I can hear, I can feel, I can see, I can tell
You are for real

I can live, I can love, I can be better with you
For real
I can hear, I can feel, I can see, I can tell
You are for real

I can stare, I can memorize your face
Your hands, your hair
Every part of you
I can cut off any of loose ends and not even wanna keep a few

I can speak to you so honestly
I can't even run any game
I can hear a million angels singing in my ears
When I say your name

I can live, I can love, I can be better with you
For real
I can hear, I can feel, I can see, I can tell
You are for real

I can live, I can love, I can be better with you
For real
I can hear, I can feel, I can see, I can tell
You are for real

I can't smile, can't dream like a child
Can't feel safe in this wide world without you
I can't go, can't disturb this flow
Can't begin to know what I would do

I can't see, can't find strength to be
Rather not be me without you
I can't deal, I can't even feel
Without you I'm not real

I can live, I can love, I can be better with you
For real
I can hear, I can feel, I can see, I can tell
You are for real

I can live, I can love, I can be better with you
For real
I can hear, I can feel, I can see, I can tell
You are for real

I can live, I can love, I can be better with you
For real
I can hear, I can feel, I can see, I can tell
You are for real

I can live, I can love, I can be better with you
For real
I can hear, I can feel, I can see, I can tell
You are for real

Amel Larrieux (born March 8, 1973) is a U.S. singer-songwriter and keyboard player. She was formerly lead vocalist of the '90s R&B and soul group Groove Theory.

Larrieux was born and brought up in the neighborhood of Greenwich Village in New York City. Her mother was a dance critic and professor who encouraged Larrieux to grow up in a free-spirited, artistic environment. Many of her influences are drawn from R&B, soul, jazz, folk, hip-hop and gospel, with flashes of Middle Eastern, West African, and Indian ethnic styles. She lives in New York City with her husband and two daughters.

As a solo artist, her music is mostly categorized as fitting within the nu-soul genre, though she also dabbles in jazz, blues and gospel sounds. She sang lead vocals with Sade's band Sweetback while Sade was on hiatus. On her last album 'Lovely Standards' she gravitated away from nu-soul to produce a cover album made up of songs from the jazz and blues singers that inspired her. Larrieux is also influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder and Prince — as she has previously credited on her website. Read more on Last.fm.
