The Idea Of Me

You wouldn't love me if you knew me
 Oh, I don't even think you could
 Don't know me well enough to hate me
 Even though I'm sure you would
 You walking my way
 And I see that you don't have a clue
 'Bout to make a mistake
 Wish I could tell you what to do
 I'm not who you think
 Don't buy me that drink
 It's all an illusion
 So just walk away
 I'm not trying to be rude but
 You're in love with the idea you have of me
 And I'm so over, I'm so over it
 All you want is the idea you have of me
 And I'm so over, I'm so over it
 Ain't nothing like the real me
 You ain't ready for the real me
 But I like, yeah, I like, yeah, I like her
 You see me here looking all pretty
 But you don't know the time it took
 I know I clean myself up nicely
 It doesn't do me any good
 You're walking my way
 And I see that you don't have a clue
 'Bout to make a mistake
 Wish I could tell you what to do
 I'm not who you think
 Don't buy me that drink
 It's all an illusion
 So just walk away
 I'm not trying to be rude but
 You're in love with the idea you have of me
 And I'm so over, I'm so over it
 All you want is the idea you have of me
 And I'm so over, I'm so over it
 Ain't nothing like the real me (real me)
 You ain't ready for the real me (real me)
 But I like, yeah, I like, yeah I like her
 Ain't nothing like the real me (real me)
 You ain't ready for the real me (real me)
 But I like, yeah, I like, yeah, I like her
 You say we'd be perfect
 I'm sure that we would
 Thinking that I'm what you need
 But what you need just isn't me
 I'm a little broken, said and done
 I'ma let you down, no
 I'm not trying to be rude but
 You're in love with the idea you have of me
 And I'm so over, I'm so over it
 All you want is the idea you have of me
 And I'm so over, I'm so over it
 Ain't nothing like the real me (real me)
 You ain't ready for the real me (real me)
 But I like, yeah, I like, yeah, I like her
 Ain't nothing like the real me (real me)
 You ain't ready for the real me (real me)
 But I like, yeah, I like, yeah, I like her
