REAL GIRL Mutya Buena brit énekesnő egyetlen stúdióalbuma. 2007. június 4-én jelent meg az Island Recordsnál. Miután 2005 decemberében kilépett a brit Sugababes lányegyüttesből, Buena később új lemezszerződést írt alá az Island Records-szal, amely ugyanaz a kiadó volt, mint a Sugababes, és elkezdett dolgozni az albumon.
A Real Girl megjelenése után vegyes kritikákat kapott a kritikusoktól. Kereskedelmi szempontból az album tíz helyen végzett a brit albumlistán, és további négy országban, köztük Skóciában és Írországban is felkerült a listára. Az albumot három kislemez támogatta; A "Real Girl" első kislemeze a második helyen debütált az Egyesült Királyság kislemezlistáján, így Buena első tíz kislemeze lett, és további hét országban bekerült az első tízbe, így Buena eddigi legsikeresebb kislemeze lett. Az album második és harmadik kislemeze, a "Just a Little Bit" és a "B Boy Baby" nem érte el a vezető kislemez sikerét, az Egyesült Királyságban a top 50 alá tetőztek, aminek következtében az Island 2008-ban kiesett a Buena-ból. A Real Girl emellett tartalmazza a "This Is Not Real Love" című kislemezt George Michaellel és a "Song 4 Mutya" című kislemezt, a Groo1 Control5 Peaked-ben, a Groo1 Control 5-ben. az Egyesült Királyság.

KRITIKA

A Real Girl általában vegyes kritikákat kapott a zenekritikusoktól. Caroline Sullivan (The Guardian) úgy találta, hogy "debütáló albumából az a tény derül ki, hogy nagyon szeretné, ha Mary J. Blige-hez hasonlítanák, de megelégszik Jameliával. Hátat fordítva a Suga-popnak, kifinomult városi lánynak állította be magát, aki Armaff Armada és R. Michaelda Wine tehetségének tökéletesen együttműködik a producere [...]. kiemelkedik, mint egy csiszoló elektronikus rave-up, amelyhez itt semmi más nem fér."[6] Az AllMusic szerkesztője, Sharon Mawer az albumot "táncolható R&B dalok keverékeként" jellemezte, és öt csillagból háromra értékelte az albumot. Jaime Gill, a Yahoo Music-nak író, úgy találta, hogy "néhány tüskésebb pillanat, mint ez a "["B Boy Baby"] és a "Song 4 Mutya", és néhány kevésbé közepes tempójú szundi, mint az "It's Not Easy", és ez lehetett volna az egyik legérdekesebb popsztárunk zseniális, merész debütálása. Meg kell elégednie egy érdekes vegyes színnel." Krissi Murison, az NME-től úgy érezte, hogy a Real Girl "egy debütáló oktáv-harcos, R&B salak. És még maga Winehouse (aki a „B Boy Baby” – a közel azonos nevű The Ronettes klasszikusának nem túl vicces újrafeldolgozása) háttérénekét sem tudja megakadályozni, hogy kevésbé legyen csalódás.”

A kislemezen Mutya Buena, az akkori Sugababes tag szerepel, és 2006. november 6-án jelent meg. Michael és Buena elfoglaltsága miatt nem készült videó a dalhoz. A dal remixelt formában is szerepelt Buena szóló debütáló albumán, a Real Girl-en. A dal 2006-ban a tizenötödik helyen végzett az Egyesült Királyságban. 2008. március 25-én jelent meg az Egyesült Államokban, és a Hot Dance Club Songs listán a nyolcadik helyet érte el. 10 000 darabot adtak el Olaszországban.

REAL GIRL Lenny Kravitz, Niara Scarlett, Matt Ward és Dean Gillard által írt dal. Tartalmaz egy mintát Kravitz "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over" című művéből. A dalt Matt Ward és Dean Gillard készítette Mutya Buena debütáló albumához, a Real Girl-hez, és az album első kislemezeként jelent meg 2007. május 28-án az Egyesült Királyságban. Ausztráliában a dalt 2007. június 16-án adták ki.
A "Real Girl" 2007. június 3-án debütált és a második helyen végzett az Egyesült Királyság kislemezlistáján, amelyet Rihanna "Umbrella" tartott meg, és Finnországban, Hollandiában és Szlovákiában is a legjobb 10-be jutott. Bekerült a 2008-as BRIT Awards legjobb brit kislemezének járó listájára. A szám Buena egykori bandatagjaival, a Sugababes-szel, valamint Leona Lewis-szal, Kate Nash-sel és Take That-el állt szemben.

SONG 4 MUTYA (OUT OF CONTROL) A Groove Armada brit zeneduó által készített dal, amelyen Mutya Buena énekes. Az eredetileg a brit énekesnő, Estelle szereplésére szánt duó végül úgy döntött, hogy Buenával együtt dolgoznak a dalon, miután a lány 2005 decemberében kilépett a Sugababes lányegyüttesből. Az új hullámok által ihletett ritmussal, táncos szintetizátorokkal és basszusvonallal megtámogatva ez egy gyors ütemű elektronikus és elektropop dal. A dalszövegeket a média a Buena Sugababes utódja, Amelle Berrabah "sértéseként" értelmezte, bár maga Buena tagadta az ilyen vádakat.
A dal produkcióját a kritikusok elismerése fogadta, a különböző kritikusok pedig a nyár dalának titulálták, míg a The Guardian és az Xtra! 2007 egyik legjobb dalaként emelte ki. A dal a 8. helyezést érte el a UK Singles Chart-on, és elérte az első helyet a UK Dance Chart-on. Ausztráliában, Finnországban, Írországban és Hollandiában jutott a legjobb 40 közé. A kislemez videoklipjét az észak-londoni Finsbury Parkban forgatták, és egy fesztivál témát tartalmaz.
Megjelenése óta a szám előtérbe került a brit LMBTQ közösségben, maga Buena kijelentette, hogy csak LMBTQ helyszíneken, rendezvényeken és tereken adja elő a számot.

JUST A LITTLE BIT Az angol énekesnő és egykori Sugababes tag, Mutya Buena dala. A dalt Eg White és Pam Sheyne írta, a producer pedig White. Ez a Real Girl című debütáló stúdióalbumának nyitódala, és 2007. október 22-én jelent meg az Egyesült Királyságban az album harmadik kislemezeként. A "Just a Little Bit" egy R&B dal soul elemekkel. Általában pozitív kritikákat kapott a zenekritikusoktól, akik dicsérték Buena énekes teljesítményét. A kislemez a 65. helyet érte el a brit kislemezlistán. Buena a londoni The Borderline-ban adta elő 2007 áprilisában.

B BOY BABY Egy dal, amelyet Mutya Buena brit felvételi művész írt, Amy Winehouse énekesnő kiemelkedő háttérénekével. A dal mintái a Ronettes "Be My Baby"-je, Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich és Jeff Barry írta, Angela Hunte új szövegével. Salaam Remi készítette Buena első szólóalbumához, a Real Girl-hez (2007), és az album negyedik, egyben utolsó kislemezeként adták ki 2007. december 3-án.

DALSZÖVEGEK

JUST A LITTLE BIT

Woke up too early this morning
Shaken by a dream I had when I was in danger of losin' you
And I made up my mind
I was gonna tell you when you opened your eyes I thought it through
Wanna be someone
Better than the one who wasn't there when you needed her
Someone who
Wants you, needs you, someone who'd never leave you

My almost was not enough, never sacrificed too much
I'm ready to give, more than just a little bit (just a little bit)
I'm willing as I'll ever be, do anything, just watch me
I love you, I admit, more than just a little bit (just a little bit, more)

'Cause I was so busy driving
I didn't see the road ahead or where I was going, ignored the signs
Why didn't somebody tell me
The one that I was looking for was there all the time - I was blind
It took a bad dream to show me
Without you there how it would be I realized
I want you, I need you
And baby I'll never leave you

When you wake up, I'll be different
I don't know how I'm gonna find the right words to say
I'll have a whole lot more to give than I did yesterday (just a little bit, more)
(just a little bit) Yesterday (just a little bit)

REAL GIRL

If I had one chance to live my life again
I wouldn't make no changes, now or way back when, yeah
And if everything turns out the way I hope it goes
But I can't wait to find out what it is that God knows
But I don't wanna think about, what's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day, cause it's the only way, to be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl, I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl, I know exactly who I am

And nothing's ever perfect, there's no guarantee
And if I knew the answers, it would put my mind at ease, no-no
So I'll just keep on going the way I've gone so far
And maybe I'll end up tryin' to catch a fallin' star, yeah
But I don't wanna think about, what's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day, cause it's the only way, to be the best that I can be

Maybe this is who I am, don't need you to understand
'Cause everything is right where it should be
And it won't be long till you know about me
'Cause I don't give up even when I'm out on love
'Cause everythings just how it should be
And it won't be long till you know about me

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl, I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else (No)
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl, I know exactly who I am

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl, I know exactly where I stand
And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl, I know exactly who I am

I know exactly who I am

SONG 4 MUTYA (OUT OF CONTROL) (featuring Groove Armada)

(Outta control)
You're gone, now, I feel fine
17 months, yeah I feel fine
What about you? I betcha been cryin'
I bet ya been goin around town lyin'
I'm drivin' fast, I feel so fine
I got Prince singin' "Hot Thing" to me, I know every line
So I pulled up to the red light, sittin' here in my car
I looked up to my right, and there you are

Sat there with some new girl, what is this?
(Don't panic, panic, Mutya, don't drive erratic)
That's who has replaced me, what a diss
(Don't panic, panic, don't act too manic, manic)
It's a sure-fire way to ruin my day
Just as soon as I'm on top of my life, there you are again

Let's cut to with my girl for lunch
I was feelin' on top of the world, and I just got a hunch
That you were sat behind my back, didn't need to turn 'round
I felt sick at the thought, you're laughing loud

(Outta control)
It's a sure-fire way to ruin my day
Just as soon as I'm on top of my life, there you are again
But don't react now, you can't go back now
Don't panic, panic, Mutya, just look ahead now

BREAKDOWN MOTEL

Mmmmm
You shouldn't have made me wait
You shouldn't have made me wait at Breakdown Motel
You shouldn't have made me wait
You shouldn't have left me by myself
You managed to knock me out
But I promise you, babe, I will come round

One day you were near me, but not for long
And the strange has sweet become
We can't hold on to the things we love, so don't hold on
So you can fly to the moon above, to find something new
When you're back in this atmosphere, you can't help being blue, you

You shouldn't have made me wait
You shouldn't have made me wait at Breakdown Motel
You shouldn't have made me wait
You shouldn't have let me scare myself
You managed to knock me out
But I promise you, babe, I will come round

So you can go anywhere you want, but it won't lead nowhere
It's always strange when I check out up here, and you're not there

You shouldn't have made me wait
You shouldn't have made me wait at Breakdown Motel
You shouldn't have made me wait
You shouldn't have left me by myself

You shouldn't have made me wait
You shouldn't have made me wait at Breakdown Motel
You shouldn't have made me wait
You shouldn't have let me scare myself
You managed to knock me out
But I promise you, babe, I will come round

STRUNG OUT

Strung out
When we started out, it was fun, so cool
Nothing really heavy, just a little after school
We were chasing dreams, and living for the day
Live was for the taking, it was such a simple game
I don't know when, and I don't know why
Suddenly I lost you, and a part of you had died
You've gone and taking it to far
I don't recognize who you are, you're...

Strung out, you're wasting all our love away
I'm running out of words to say
Is there nothing getting through
'Cause I can barely see you
Strung out, believing that there's nothing wrong
With everything the pain goes on
Tell me what they gonna say
When you shut yourself away

It's a long way down, when you're flying high
No one's gonna catch you, when you've told too many lies
It's hard for me, I'm not that brave
Please God help me now, while there's something left to say
My premonitions are coming true
Just tell me babe, what you are trying to prove?
You're hurting me, breaking me
You still forsaking me, why can't you see? You're...

Oh, yeah, you're strung out, baby
Yes you are, strung out, yeah

Flowers on the grave
I'm calling your name, ashes in the rain
Uh, flowers on the grave
I'm calling your name, baby, ashes in the rain, yeah, yeah

Strung out, you're wasting all our love away
I'm running out of words to say (Words to say, yeah)
Is there nothing getting through
'Cause I can barely see you
Strung out, believing that there's nothing wrong
With everything the pain goes on (The pain goes on)
Tell me what they gonna say
When you shut yourself away (Yeah, yeah)

Strung out, you're wasting all our love away (Taking our love away)
I'm running out of words to say (Words to say)
Is there nothing getting, baby (Through)
'Cause I can barely see you
Strung out, believing that there's nothing wrong (Out, there's nothing wrong, no baby)
With everything the pain goes on (Oh, the pain goes on)
Tell me what they gonna say
When you shut yourself away

IT'S NOT EASY

I wonder what you'll look like, and if you'll make me laugh
What will be your temptations, will you grow up too fast?
What with all the noise around you, will I teach you how to sing?
Will you be one of those kids, who seems to know everything?
I can see you, growing up way too soon
Isn't that just, what they said about me too?

It's not easy being right all the time
You know someone has to be (someone has to be)
Cause feelings can be undermined
Usually that someone turns out to be me
Can feel you in my skin, feel you deep within
You ain't going nowhere, I ain't being myself
'Cause you're the reason why
I give in every time, I give you everything (give you everything)

I hope you make the right decisions, hope that they come easily
I know with all of us around you, we give out our opinions free
So will you stay or will you break out, to make out on your own?
Will you need that kind of freedom, when you finally leave home?
I can see you, growing up way too soon
Isn't that just, what they said about me too?

Oh, I can see you, growing up way too soon
Isn't that just, what they said about me too?

SUFFER FOR LOVE

Maybe I was wrong, maybe I was right
Maybe I shouldn't not given up on us that night
Maybe I was stupid, should've stuck it out
You told me that I was the one and that you had no doubt
That's when I messed it up, and get it wrong, like some kind of curse, oh

Why do I have to suffer for love (I suffer) suffer for love (I suffer)
I've given it everything, still it ain't happening
I'm sick of it all (all) what does it want (want)
It's asking too much, I'm a sucker for a suffer for love (yeah)

Has love lost it's meaning, am I destined not to feel it?
Baby, I have, and I just don't know it when I'm in it
Is it me to blame, I really need to change
This pattern I'm seeing, I don't wanna be in
Why I gotta mess it up, and get it wrong, like some kind of curse, oh

I wanna be happy, I wanna be laughin'
Just like all the people that I see up in the movies
So I'm gonna take chances
And I'm gonna make the difference, cuz Cupid's got to put me in love
I keep on trying but I don't know how it works
There's no instruction so I keep on getting hurt
Over again (over), over again (over), over and over and over again (oh baby)
I keep on trying but I don't know how it works
There's no instruction so I keep on getting hurt
Over again (over), over again (ah yeah) over and over and over

Why do I have to suffer for love (I suffer) suffer for love (I suffer)
I've given it everything, still it ain't happening (I know and know I am)
I'm sick of it all (all) what does it want (want)
It's asking too much, I'm a sucker for a suffer for love

Why do I have to suffer for love (I suffer) suffer for love (I suffer)
I've given it everything, still it ain't happening (oh)
I'm sick of it all (all) what does it want (want)
It's asking too much, I'm a sucker for a suffer for love (oh yeah-eah)

NOT YOUR BABY

Hey-yeah, Oh
Here's a little question to you
Baby tell me if it's gonna have an answer too
I would like to know if you could tell me boy
What's the deal and how we got up on this joint
Tell me if you wanna be with me tonight
Got a feeling you ain't ready but your heart denies
I'm not surprised, cause you've done this once before, hey-yeah

I don't wanna ever have to ask you, cause I know you got another
'Baby, how you doing?', and I ain't gonna bother
It's not my game to deal with, do you watch eachother
There ain't no playing tonight, you see me looking, no way
Turn around unless it's something, to say to me
If you gotta go, just let me know, cause I am not your baby oh

Baby what's the deal tonight
'Cause I know you wanted more than what you say
'Cause I feel in every move that you put on me boy
Don't act like this ain't something that your heart enjoys
But we gotta put a stop on this, boy
'Cause I ain't feeling that I have to share for you no more
I want you, baby, need you for myself, don't want nobody else

You bring me high (so high) you bring me low
Everything that you want, I know I'll get
No girl can compare, cause I've got what you need
And if I'm all this, I'm gonna get...

WONDERFUL

Oh
if you love me you should let me know
Tomorrow I'm leaving this town and I'm not coming home, oh
If you want me you should let it show
The hour is getting late, don't let me leave alone, no
'Cause we can see the world together baby
But first you gotta make up your mind
Is it her or is it me, that you want in your life

I'ma go whichever way the wind blows
'Cause I know there's something out there wonderful
I don't wanna see it all alone
'Cause I'm sure there's so much more, and it's wonderful

I know she loves you, but it's unbeaten
So follow your heart, take my hand and we'll fly like birds (higher)
If we stay here we can never be
Let's go some place far away where's just you and me
'Cause we can see the world together baby
But first you gotta make up your mind
Is it her or me, that you want in your life

I'ma go whichever way the wind blows
'Cause I know there's something out there wonderful
I don't wanna see it all alone
'Cause I'm sure there's so much more, and it's wonderful

And I know that it's hard, for you how to follow
Just follow, what's in your heart

I'ma go whichever way the wind blows
'Cause I know there's something out there wonderful
I don't wanna see it all alone
'Cause I'm sure there's so much more, and it's wonderful

Oh that's where it ends, innit?

B BOY BABY - Háttér ének: Amy Winehouse

Mmm yeah,oh, yeah
B boy, be my baby (won't you be my baby)
My one and only baby (be my baby now)
B boy, be my baby (be my baby now)
My one and only baby (Oh-oh)
B boy, be my baby (won't you be my baby)
My one and only baby (be my baby now)
B boy, be my baby (be my baby now)
My one and only baby (Oh-oh)

It was winnin' time, you know what they say
Did you think about us, did you miss your baby?
I'ma catch the train, guess I'm headin' your way
You're my number one, that's all, a newborn son
Won't you be my king? (won't you be my king?)
'Cause I know you care, I'll dirty dance for you
And when I'm done I'm gonna do it again
And when it's over I'ma pull you closer
Keep your Nikes on, you know how we do
There's nothing he won't try
We're like two stars in the sky
You are my rainy day, sunshine, it's plain to see
My heat in the cold of Winter, just so right for me, so won't you please

B boy, be my baby (won't you be my baby)
My one and only baby (be my baby now)
B boy, be my baby (be my baby now)
My one and only baby (Oh-oh)

Put two in the air if you feel like me, someone who cares feels so freaky
In demand by all the ladies, he's not for sale, he's being home-delivered to me
So hang up for your trying cards, please (he's my baby)
Love-sick calls, that's what I get, I hear his voice and things get wet
Knows what I want, then he'll fetch, he's my boo and I'm his little pet, his little pet
You never know what he'll do next, he's my baby
My rainy days, my sunshine, living fantasy
My heat in the cold of Winter, just so right for me, so won't you please

B boy, be my baby (won't you be my baby)
My one and only baby (be my baby now)
B boy, be my baby (be my baby now)
My one and only baby (Oh-oh)
B boy, be my baby (won't you be my baby)
My one and only baby (be my baby now)
B boy, be my baby (be my baby now)
My one and only baby (Oh-oh)

THIS IS NOT (REAL LOVE) (with George Michael)

Don't kiss me, darling, I want you to hear the things I say
I loved you in my way, but you know I'm gonna leave you
The clock was always ticking, and your heart,
Yes I know your heart is always on the run
I hate what I've become, but I'm still gonna leave you
And I don't think you should stay for the night
Baby you know that my flesh is weak, you know I simply
I cannot sleep without you, my heart has simply nowhere to go
Nothing to hold, those tears you're crying
Time and time again you take me back in baby
You don't have to make it plain, this is not real love

Look at us dancing baby, let's dance and show them all (Dance and show them all)
How close we are, the lies have worked so far, so we go on deceiving
But darling don't you know the time
Baby, look at yourself, holding back the tide
Like you've got something else up your sleeve
That's why I've got to leave

And I don't think you should stay here tonight
(Baby don't you know that my flesh is weak, you know)
I simply I cannot sleep without you
But someday I'll have nothing to show (Nothing to show, nothing to show)
I've nothing to hold

Oh, baby, crying, all those simple things that won't come again
Oh do I have to make it plain, this is not real love, and I said this is not real love
Real love, baby it don't glisten and shine the way it used to

This is not real love (real love)
Baby think of all the promises I made on the day that I seduced you
Baby don't wait for me like some angel of tragedy
I have to set you free
Darling you should be long gone, oh long gone by now
You should be with someone, someone
Glisten and shine, you promised me
You've gotta face it woman, you ain't ever gonna change me
Where will I go, what do I know, about life without you
You promised me you'd never leave me, no, this is not real love

PAPERBAG

I'm sitting here with a piece of paper
Says here's my number, won't you call me later
I called you the next day, and that's how we got started
I'm sitting here thinking what we've been through
In front a pile of things reminded me of you
It's weird that so much time hardly takes up any space at all
Things I saved for us to look at
Now our future's lost in the past, gotta put it away, put it away

I don't know how it can fit
Cuz it's all we were, it's all we ever had, memories
Sitting all alone in a paper bag
Maybe I should get rid off this
But it's all the love, it's all the dreams we had, you and me
Sitting on a shelf in a paper bag (sitting, sitting)

The note you wrote when we had our first fight
The car that you bought me, after sharing our first night
I know we had some bad, but we had lots of good times too (good times too)
Some tickets to a concert and a menu
Some pictures from the night, when I lost my shoe
It's funny how these things tell the story of our love affair
Can't hold on to us, no longer
If I do I'm going under, gotta pack it away, pack it away

MY SONG

I said to the taxi driver: "just get me anywhere away from here
'Cause until I'm in a different time zone, I'll still be too near"
He said: "We could go, for as far as you'll pay for, but I'ma tell you this for free
If you're searching for salvation, you won't find it with me"

This is a song, for anyone the world came crushing down on
This is a song, if you suffer in silence and still stay strong
This is a song, if you don't wanna deal with real life no more
This is a song, you can take it any way you want to
It may not be much, but it's my song

I said: "we need to stop the car, pull over, cause I really need to get some air"
We pulled up in the middle of nowhere, txi driver turned around and said:
"Young lady, it sounds like you need Jesus", I said: "Well he's welcome to help us out
And I know he made a blind man see but, can he do it the other way round?"

And it's just a song, and I know it really won't change nothing at all
How weakly heroes fall, and it's all my fault
'Cause my head was somewhere else
Now I blame it on myself, could have been there, should of helped

This is a song, for anyone the world came crushing down on
This is a song, if you suffer in silence and still stay strong
This is a song, if you don't wanna deal with real life no more
This is a song, you can take it any way you want to
It may not be much, but it's my song

NAIVE

Naive, I'm not saying it was your fault
Although you could have done more, oh you're so naive yes so
How could this be done, your such a smiling sweetheart
Oh and your sweet and pretty face, in such an ugly world, something so beautiful
That everytime I look inside

I know that she knows I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be, she's still out to get me
I know that she knows I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be, she's still out to get me

I may say it was your fault
Cause I know you could have done more, oh you're so naive yes so
How could this be done, by such a smiling sweetheart
Oh and your sweet and pretty face, in such an ugly world something so beautiful
And Everytime I look inside

I know that she knows I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be, she's still out to get me
I know that she knows I'm not fond of asking
True or false it may be, she's still out to get me

How could this be done, by such a smiling sweetheart
Oh you're so naive yes so, such an ugly thing
Someone so beautiful, and everytime you're on her side

I know she knows that I'm not fond of asking
True or false it maybe be she's still out to get me
And I know she knows I'm not fond of asking
True or false it maybe be she's still out to get me

FAST CAR

You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we can make a deal, maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better, starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we can make something, me myself I got nothing to prove

See my old man's got a problem
Lives with a bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His Body's too young to look like his
My Mama went off and left him
Wanted more from life than what he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
Packed up school that's what I did

You got a fast car, is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision, leave tonight or we can die this way

I remember we were driving, driving in your car, the speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us, and your arms felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I - I got a feeling that I belong
And I - I got a feeling that I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car, I got a job that paid all our bills
Stay out drinking late at the bar, see more of your friends than you do your kids
I'd always hoped for better, thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere, take your fast car and keep on driving

I remember we were driving, driving in your car, the speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights laid out before us, and your arms felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I - I got a feeling that I belonged
And I - I got a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car, is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision, leave tonight or we can die this way
