Y-Yeah, uh-huh, y-yeah, uh-huh, y-yeah
[Verse 1]
You want a life to live, but you gotta work hard for it
You wanna risk it all, but you don't wanna pay for it
[Chorus]
I, I, I, I don't wanna show you my whole life, let's stay in the fantasy
Stay in a fantasy
Don't wanna show you my whole life, let's forget reality
Forget reality, forget reality
[Verse 2]
Ah-ha
Can anybody, can anybody really see me?
Ah-ha
Can everybody, can everybody see the real me?
[Chorus]
Don't wanna show you my whole life, let's stay in the fantasy
Stay in a fantasy
Don't wanna show you my whole life, let's forget reality
Reality
