In A Real Love

Well, I was 18, makin' minimum wage

With a Letterman jacket and a Chevrolet

I thought I was cool, yeah

I ruled the school

You were Cum Laude with the strawberry lips

You had the whole world danglin' at your fingertips

Your senior year

An' I was your daddy's worst fear

We ran off on graduation night

Thought a couple of left hand rings

Would make everything all right

With a little bit a-live, little bit a-learn

Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn

And findin' out what life was

Ooh, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight

Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night

An' one day wakin' up, oh in a real love, yeah, that's right

Well, I was 22, workin' double overtime

I was spendin' dollars an' makin' dimes

We were overdrawn

An' barely hangin' on

An' then one night you came to me

With tears in your eyes and a E P T and said

"Guess what? yeah

Baby ready or not?"

Well, I just smiled but I was scared to death

How am I gonna' have a kid

When I'm still a kid myself

With a little bit a-live, little bit a-learn

Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn

And findin' out what life was

Ooh, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight

Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night

An' one day, wakin' up, oh, in a real love

Oh in a real love, yeah, it's a real love

With a little bit a-live, little bit a-learn

Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn

And findin' out what life was

With a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight

Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night

An' one day, wakin' up, oh, in a real love

Yeah, baby, it's a real love, yeah, it's a real love, baby

Oh it's a real, real, real, real, real, real, real love

Yeah, that's right
