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.
Forgot to tell you
Sins are very hard to say
And you know that the words are there, my love
When I first saw you
I didn't notice it that day
Now you're the one I'm thinking of.
Oh, you never bring me down
Make me sad, it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh, so sure (oh so sure, so sure).
When I was a little girl
I wanted everything ideal
Yeah, and a love I could depend on
This is the real world
And I believe our love is real
And it's the only thing I'm counting on.
Oh, you never bring me down
Make me sad, it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh, so sure.
Oh, you never bring me down
Make me sad, it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh, so sure, oh.
This is the real world
I really want to be your girl
This is the real world (real world)
I really want to be your girl
This is the real world (real world)
I really want to be your girl.
