In a Real Love
Written by - Phil Vassar & Craig Wiseman
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 Coolatta with the strawberry lips
You had the whole world danglin' at your fingertips
Your senior year
An' I was your 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 o' live
Little bit o' learn
Little bit o' watchin' a few more candles burn
And findin' out what life was
Ooh, with a little bit o' fuss
Little bit o' fight
Little bit o' 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 the 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 only a kid myself

With a little bit o' live
Little bit o' learn
Little bit o' watchin' a few more candles burn
And findin' out what life was
Ooh, with a little bit o' fuss
Little bit o' fight
Little bit o' 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

Mmm...with a little bit o' live
Little bit o' learn
Little bit o' watchin' a few more candles burn
And findin' out what life was
Mmm, with a little bit o' fuss
Little bit o' fight
Little bit o' 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, real, real, real, real, real, real love
Yeah, that's right
Hey
