CAN THIS BE REAL
(Janice Hutson / Leroy Hutson / Michael Hawkins)


The Natural Four - 1974


I've always been the kind of guy
Who could handle almost anything
I've had money, cars, expensive girls in bars
And I've always had my own song to sing

Oh, but you came along
Changed the sound of my song
And I've never, ever felt like this before
Tell me, can this be real (Can this be real)
This love I feel (This love I feel)
In my heart for you, baby
Oh, can it really be true (Can it really be true)

You changed my life so suddenly
I don't know if this is me or not
But I like the new me, my new identity 
So don't you ever let the feeling stop

Sometimes I try to resist you, girl
Ah, but that would just take more than I've got
Tell me, can this be real (Can this be real)
(This love I feel) The love I feel for you, baby
Ooh, can it really be true

(Instrumental Break)

Tell me, tell me, tell me 
(Can this be real) Can this be real
(This love I feel) The love I feel for you, baby
Ooohhhh  (Can it really be true)
Can this be real (Can this be real)
This love I feel (This love I feel)
In my heart for you, hey
Can it really, really, really be true
(Can it really be true)
Can this be real (Can it be real)
What I'm feeling now (This love I feel)
Can it be really true, baby
Aaahh, somebody tell me if it's real
(Can it really be true)
