Show Me The Real You

Music and lyrics by Daniel Bedingfield, D. Hart, E. Apopapoulay


Hey remember me?
Hard to forget, right?
Insistent, demanding
When we were both sixteen
I remember you in the spotlight
You seemed so in control
Hiding behind your wall
Have you ever met somebody who could unmask you
The way you unmask me
Guidelines and sub-routines
You make me forget the things
That I put in place to save my face
But I'm not sure it's a face worth saving

  Chorus
Show me the real you
And I'll show you the real me
Can we make a second first impression?
Show me the real you
And I'll show you the real me
Can we make a second first impression?
Maybe, maybe

Seven years have past
Now here I come
I caught the briefest glimpse
I haven't seen it since
When you smile at me
Where'd you smile from
From insecurity
But you're secure with me
Have you never let somebody in to unmask you
The way you unmask me
I know it's dangerous
Please don't be afraid because
This is your life I used to live
Now I know it's not a life worth living

  Chorus

I know I'm acting stupid
Can we make a second first impression
I want us to be honest, open
Show your face to me

  Chorus

Show me the real you
And I'll show you the real me
Can we make a second first impression?
Maybe, maybe
