Stay Real/Look Sweet - The Ark

Here they come, looking sugar oh so sweet, they talk so street

You can almost hear them saying underneath:

Don’t cry, stay real, look sweet yeah!

Baby baby, there’s beauty in the way you grit your teeth

Think you’re neat, but you’re looking like a stiff to me

Don’t cry, stay real, look sweet yeah

Don’t cry, stay real, look sweet yeah

Am I the only one to no longer wish that every day was Saturday?

Am I the only one who goes round thinking:

It ain’t me (stay real, look sweet) It ain’t me

It ain’t me (stay real, look sweet) It ain’t me

You and me shaking sugar under sheets we bought last week

You and me share a language that our souls can speak

Don’t cry, stay real, look sweet yeah

Don’t cry, stay real, look sweet yeah

Am I the only one to no longer wish that every day was Saturday?

Am I the only one who goes round thinking:

It ain’t me (stay real, look sweet) It ain’t me

It ain’t me (stay real, look sweet) It ain’t me

(Ah, sweet)

Shuffling through the alley with your cufflinks all a-dangling

And your funny eyes attached to the sun (x3)

Shuffling through the alley

(stay real, look sweet)

Oh rocky dandy

People say you’ve got no handy

And your handkerchief is much too rare

(stay real, look sweet)

My poor understanding

(stay real, look sweet)

Oh you’re so avant-garde

(stay real, look sweet)

You’re making me hard

Our state

(but you’re looking like a stiff to me, yeah)

(stay real, look sweet)

(but you’re looking like a stiff to me, yeah)

(stay real, look sweet)

(but you’re looking like a stiff to me, yeah)
