Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You wouldn't love me if you knew me

Oh, I don't even think you could

Don't know me well enough to hate me

Even though I'm sure you would

[PreChorus]

You're walking my way

And I see that you don't have a clue

'Bout to make a mistake

Wish I could tell you what to do

I'm not who you think

Don't buy me that drink

It's all an illusion

So just walk away

[Chorus]

I'm not trying to be rude

But you're in love with the idea you have of me

And I'm so over, I'm so over it

All you want is the idea you have of me

And I'm so over, I'm so over it

[PostChorus]

Ain't nothing like the real me

You ain't ready for the real me

But I like, yeah, I like, yeah, I like her

[Verse 2]

You see me here looking all pretty

But you don't know the time it took

I know I clean myself up nicely

It doesn't do me any good

[PreChorus]

You're walking my way

And I see that you don't have a clue

'Bout to make a mistake

Wish I could tell you what to do

I'm not who you think

Don't buy me that drink

It's all an illusion

So just walk away

[Chorus]

I'm not trying to be rude

But you're in love with the idea you have of me

And I'm so over, I'm so over it

All you want is the idea you have of me

And I'm so over, I'm so over it

[PostChorus]

Ain't nothing like the real me (Real me)

You ain't ready for the real me (Real me)

But I like, yeah, I like, yeah, I like her

Ain't nothing like the real me (Real me)

You ain't ready for the real me (Real me)

But I like, yeah, I like, yeah, I like her

[Bridge]

You say we'd be perfect

I'm sure that we would

Thinking that I'm what you need, I'm what you need

Just isn't me

I'm a little broken, said and done

I'ma let you down, no

[Chorus]

I'm not trying to be rude

But you're in love with the idea you have of me

And I'm so over, I'm so over it

All you want is the idea you have of me

And I'm so over, I'm so over it

[PostChorus]

Ain't nothing like the real me (Real me)

You ain't ready for the real me (Real me)

But I like, yeah, I like, yeah, I like her

Ain't nothing like the real me (Real me)

You ain't ready for the real me (Real me)

But I like, yeah, I like, yeah, I like her
