written by Frederick Knight


Intro: E.. ...|... B..|A/e.. ...|... ..B|
       E.. ...|... ...|A/e.. ...|Am/e.. ...|

         E          A/f# E   B/d#
Are you back in my life to stay
   C#m    B/g#       C#m
Or is it just for today
       B              A      A/b
Oh that you're gonna need me?
             E        A/f# E     B/d#
If it's a thrill you're looking for
      C#m B/g# C#m
Honey, I'm flexible
B  A
Oh yeah
    E/g# A   E/b             A/b
Just be for real won't you, Baby
E/g# A  E/b     A/b
Be for real oh, Baby
G#7/c   C#m         E/b       A  E/g# A/f# A/b E
You see I, I don't want to be hurt by love again
E.. ...|... B..|A/e.. ...|Am/e.. ...|

So you see I'm not naive
I just would like to believe
Ah what you tell me
So don't give me the world today
And tomorrow take it away
Don't do that to me, darling
Just be for real won't you, Baby
Be for real won't you, Baby
You see I, I don't want to be hurt by love again
      B            A/e
Been hurt so many times
        C#m         E/b       A  E/g# A/f# A/b E   B   A/e
You see I, I don't want to be hurt by love again

E  A/f#         E               B/d#
I don't give a damn about the truth, Baby
       C#m B/g#     C#m     B   A
Except for the naked truth, oh yeah
    E/g# A   E/b             A/b
Just be for real won't you, Baby
E/g# A  E/b            A/b
Be for real won't you, Baby
G#7/c   C#m         E/b       A  E/g# A/f# A/b E    B   A/e
You see I, I don't want to be hurt by love again, oh no, no, no
      G#7/c    C#m         E/b       A  E/g# A/f# A/b A/e    E/g#
It's just that I, I don't want to be hurt by love again
  A/f#              E
