Låttexter: Slum Village. Tainted.

Real love, true love
Tainted love, real love
True love, tainted love
Real love, true love
Tainted love

Think of her think of me, think about us it's a intimacy
I'm tryin' to strum like guitars in this beat
And consider ridin' she'll kick the blahs spleen
Plus, you got a man but he ain't quite me
The type of man that try to give you what you need
And, he wanna know where you are where you be
Where you going where you today where you started to be, damn

If I was him I wouldn't even leave
I would trust you what you say that you are where you been
Say, he the type of nigga that's still cheap
Take his girl on a date and they go to Mickey D's
See, I'm the type that try to style in a jeep
Try to take you out to see things and occasionally creep
Yeah your man is doing things I can't really see
Don't sound too good it sound tainted to me

Real love, true love
Tainted love, real love
True love, tainted love
Real love, true love
Real love

How many years does it take for a record to blow?
I'm doin' exactly how many licks it took for my hoes
Spendin' your cash flow 'cause she was so out hoe
Scandal love, 'cause love full of scandal
Too much chick for that ass she couldn't handle that
Well it's the same tainted love in the music business
People they lose that brain just to get up in this

Let's be a star for day, everything in life is just okay
People say things they don't really wanna say
Hey but it's okay 'cause your a star for the day
People a smile at you when they really wanna frown
Well a that's just the way tainted folk get down
Just keep it real and, we'll see
When the situation is tainted love is always free
Love is always free, love is always free

Real love, true love
Tainted love, real love
True love, tainted love
Real love, true love

Check it out, you said you love me but is it really real
Would you, fix me green tea if I'm feelin' ill
Could you, give me a back rub to sooth after a long day
Dinner by candlelight but your the main entree
And if so I do the same with other treats to give you
Trailin' rose pedals from your door to beneath your pillow
With a bucket of champagne on your night stand
Experience with someone who want in they life span, the same

Real love, real, real
Everybody knows that love's real love, someone to trust in you for real
Everybody need love that's real, I would never want nothin' tainted
Wait a minute what you feel, faded if your lovin' was tainted
True, oh, I know true love is hard to find, just let it find you for real
If you found love then keep it real, keep love from being tainted
Being tainted oh, do you be alright
Just sit y'all, Dwele, one more time y'all, then you'll be, alright
Real love, real, real, real, real
