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 ur fingertips. Your senior year an' I was ur 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. Yes, 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 EPT 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. Whoa, in a real love. Yeah, it's a real love.
Mmmm, 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. Mmm, 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. Whoa, it's a real……love. Yeah, that's right. Hey
