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 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.
