Don’t be afraid of being yourself, don’t worry that I won’t stay
Don’t be afraid that I’ll see who you really are, don’t worry that I’ll walk away

I’m tired of one night stands, of superficial hook-ups 
Of bars where people go to be someone they’re not
I want a woman with a head on her shoulders, with a heart of gold
Not just someone who thinks she’s hot

I want someone who’s real, inside and out
I'm not lookin' for candy on my arm
I want someone who’s real, through and through
Who’s happy with who they are

I’m tired of lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Self-medicating the pain until I no longer care.
I need a woman who cultivates her inner beauty
who inspires the best in me, in ways I never dared

I want someone who’s ready to be serious
I want someone who’s ready to think about us

About living together, and relationship stuff
About working and playing, communicating enough
About laughing and loving, sharing our dreams and fear
When times are tough

I want someone who’s real, inside and out
I'm not lookin' for candy on my arm
Ooh----

Don’t be afraid of being yourself, don’t worry that I won’t stay
Don’t be afraid that I’ll see who you really are, don’t worry that I’ll walk away
