This is not real love
A few months ago, I chanced upon this song 'This is not real love' by Mutya Buena and George Michael. But I only fell in love with it recently. Unfortunately, this song is not getting the attention it ought to get. I think Mutya's husky and edgy sound really makes this song perfect. Her low notes are exceptionally nice, which are really exemplified in the verse. As for Michael's sound, I think it's okay, didn't appeal to me as much as Mutya's. What I would say about this song is that there're lots of surprises in this song. The song structure varies in the sense that the song doesn't keep repeating itself like from verse den to chorus bk to verse and they sound like the same and bores u. Mutya's low husky growl would send shivers down your spine. Enjoy...
George:
Don't kiss me, darling
I want you to hear the things I say
I loved you in my way
But you know I'm gonna leave you
Mutya:
The clock was always ticking
And your heart,
Yes I know your heart is always on the run
George:
I hate what I've become
But I'm still gonna leave you
And I don't think you should stay for the night
Mutya:
Baby you know that my flesh is weak
You know I simply
Both:
I cannot sleep without you
My heart has simply nowhere to go
Mutya:
Nothing to hold
Those tears you're crying
George:
Time and time again you take me back in baby
Mutya:
You don't have to make it plain
Both:
This is not real love
Mutya:
Look at us dancing baby
Let's dance and show them all
(Dance and show them all)
How close we are
The lies have worked so far
So we go on deceiving
George:
But darling don't you know the time
Baby, look at yourself, holding back the tide
Like you've got something else up your sleeve
That's why I've got to leave
Both:
And I don't think you should stay here tonight
(Baby don't you know that my flesh is weak, you know)
I simply I cannot sleep without you
But someday I'll have nothing to show
(Nothing to show)
(Nothing to show)
I've nothing to hold
George:
Oh, baby, crying
All those simple things that won't come again
Oh do I have to make it plain
This is not real love
And I said this is not real love
Mutya:
Real love
Baby it don't glisten and shine the way it used to
George:
This is not real love (real love)
Baby think of all the promises I made on the day that I seduced you
Baby don't wait for me like some angel of tragedy
I have to set you free
Darling you should be long gone, oh long gone by now
You should be with someone, someone
Mutya:
Glisten and shine
You promised me
George:
You've gotta face it woman, you ain't ever gonna change me
Mutya:
Where will I go, what do I know
About life without you
You promised me you'd never leave me, no
This is not real love
