Pete Townshend - Don't Try to Make Me Real lyrics

But whetever you do don't try and make me real

Make me your dream, a secretive deal

But don't ever scheme to try and make me real

CHORUS

Stop trying to make me real

I haven't got the kind of heart a lover can steal

Stop crying, I just can't feel

Any sympathy for someone trying to make me real

Make me of shit in a two-tenner deal

Make me of pornography in a pedophile wheel

Whatever I do, whatever I feel

By your double standard I will never be real

CHORUS

Why can't you settle for a fantasy?

You're so convinced that I'm the man to see

I can't live up to

What you give up to

I fail to see the perfect man in me

Make me from your magazine a listed ideal

Dress me in the doll's house your knickers conceal

Make me your brother-lover beau-ideal

But you will soon discover lover can't be real

CHORUS
