I had a thought, dear
However scary
About that night
The bugs and the dirt
Why were you digging?
What did you bury
Before those hands pulled me
From the Earth?
So I will not ask you where you came from
I will not ask and neither would you
Honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do
Ooh, ooh
I knew that look, dear
Eyes always seeking
Was there in someone
That dug long ago?
So I will not ask you why you were creeping
In some sad way I already know
So I will not ask you where you came from
I would not ask and neither would you
Honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do
Ooh, ooh
I could not ask you where you came from
I could not ask and neither could you
Honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips
We could just kiss like real people do
Unveiling Secrets and Intimacy
“Like Real People Do” by Sabrina Carpenter explores the delicate dance between vulnerability and secrecy in a blossoming relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who recognize each other’s past wounds and mysteries, yet choose not to probe or judge. Instead of seeking answers about each other’s history, the song suggests that true intimacy arises from acceptance and living in the moment. The repeated refrain, urging to “just kiss like real people do,” encapsulates the desire for authenticity and connection, unfettered by the burdens of the past. Carpenter’s gentle delivery underscores the bittersweet beauty of loving someone for who they are now, not for the secrets they may carry.
