Lyrics

Here In The Real World

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Cowboys don't cry

And heroes don't die

Good always wins

Again and again

And love is a sweet dream

That always comes true

Oh, if life were like the movies

I'd never be blue

But here in the real world

Is not that easy at all

'Cause when hearts get broken

Is real tears that fall

And darling it's sad but true

But the one thing I learned from you

Is how the boy don't always get the girl

Here in the real world

I gave you my love

But that wasn't enough

To hold your heart when times got tough

And tonight on that silver screen

It'll end like it should

Two lovers will make it through

Like I hoped we would

But here in the real world

Is not that easy at all

'Cause when hearts get broken

Is real tears that fall

And darling it's sad but true

But the one thing I learned from you

Is how the boy don't always get the girl

Here in the real world

Is how the boy don't always get the girl

Here in the real world
