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.
We are lovers thru and thru,
Though we made it thru the storm,
I really want you to realize,
I really want to put you on,
I've been searching for someone to satisfy my every need,
Won't you be my inspiration, be the real love that I need.
Yeah, real love.
I'm searching for a real love.
Someone to set my heart free.
Real love,
I'm searching for a real love.
When I met you I just knew that you would take my heart and run,
Until you told me how you felt for me, you said I'm not the one.
So I slowly came to see all the things that you are made of.
And I found my dreams and inspirations lead me towards a real love.
Yeah, real love.
I'm searching for a real love.
Someone to set my heart free.
Real love,
I'm searching for a real love.
And I thought you were the answer to the question in my mind,
And I thought you were the answer to the question in my mind,
Yeah...yeah...
What does it mean?
What can you do about it?
What can you say?
You don't even know about it.
It's a nightmare, it's all negative, nothing matters, and what if it did,
you could lock your doors,
close all your windows and hide away...hide away...
Real love.
I'm searching for a real love,
Someone to set my heart free,
Real love.
I'm searching for a real love,
Someone to set my heart free,
Someone to set my heart free,
Someone to set my heart free,
Someone to set my heart free
Someone to set my heart free.
