It's Gotta Be Real - The Association

Walkin' and diggin' the weather

Watchin' the sun

Groovy just bein' together

When the look that I see

Is a smile that’s for me

It’s gotta be real

(Hey-hey-hey-hey)

The play begins and then we enter on cue

This kind o' lovin’s been long overdo

If you listen, you can learn something, too

You know that love’s the thing if you can make it

(You know that love’s the thing if you can make it)

But it’s no good if you have to fake it

(And it’s so good)

It’s gotta be real

If it’s inside, let it show

If it’s real, she’s gonna know

The play begins and then we enter on cue

(Walkin' and diggin' the weather)

This kind o' lovin’s been long overdo

(Watchin' the sun)

If you listen, you can learn something, too

(Groovy just bein' together)

(When the look that I see)

You know that love’s the thing, you know that loves the thing

(Is a smile that’s for me)

It’s so good if you can make it

(It's so good)

Gotta be real
