Real Girl Lyrics

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) 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 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 Baby this is who I am Don't need you to understand 'Cause everything is right where it should be It wont be long til you know about me 'Cause I don't give a Even when I'm out of love 'Cause everythings just how it should be And it wont 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 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

Meaning of Real Girl

“Real Girl” by Mutya Buena is a powerful declaration of self-acceptance and resilience in the face of uncertainty. The song’s core theme revolves around embracing authenticity and rejecting societal pressures to conform, particularly for women. With a sense of calm determination, she states her refusal to change or pretend, emphasizing that “you get what you see” – a genuine, unvarnished self. Despite acknowledging life's unpredictable nature and the lack of guarantees, she chooses to focus on the present moment, taking things "day by day" to strive to be her best self. There’s an underlying feeling of quiet strength and independence; she doesn’t need external validation or permission. Ultimately, it’s a message of self-love and trusting one's own path, solidifying her identity as “a real girl” firmly grounded in truth and refusing to chase unrealistic dreams.
