In a Real Love

In A Real Love
Phil Vassar


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 daddys 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, thats 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 Im 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, its 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, its a real love.
Yeah, its a real love, baby.
Whoa, its a real……love.
Yeah, thats right.
