Hey - yo, ya gotta wake up
Times have been getting real rough
Real friends always know how to make you feel better
But if you want a 'ride-or-die' that's by your side forever
You gotta go where the love is, go where the love is
Right there in front of you
You could see it if you had a clue
The real love you been lookin for has been here all the time
Ya been lost in the bushes chasin' them crushes
They hooked you like a fish on the end of a line
Ya thought they were the real thing
But their feelins kept changing
Now y'er left all ass out twistin' in the wind
Busted and broken, ya given up hopin'
Just wanna figure out how you got put down again
Spent all that time chasin' a mirage in the wasteland
Now you're repeatin' the same ole story to the same one
Who's always listened
Ya thought they were the real thing
But their feelins kept changing
Now y'er left all ass out twistin' in the wind
Always there to help you pick up the pieces
Warned your ass to protect your feelins
There for you through ev'ry season
(What'chu think you see)
(What'chu think you know, what? What?)
Always there to help you pick up the pieces
Warned your ass to protect your feelins
There for you through ev'ry season
Ya ever thought love could be the reason
Hey - yo, ya gotta wake up
Times have been getting real rough
Real friends always know how to make you feel better
You want a 'ride-or-die' they're right before your eyes
You better go where the love is, go where the love is
