In A Real Love

(アルバム： Shaken Not Stirred - 2004)

Well, I was 18, making 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 dangling 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 a-live, little bit a-learn,
Little bit a-watching a few more candles burn,
And finding out what life was.
Ooh, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight,
Little bit a-kiss and making up all night,
An' one day waking up, oh, in a real love.
Yes, that's right.

Well, I was 22, working double overtime.
I was spending dollars an' making dimes.
We were overdrawn an' barely hanging 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 a-live, little bit a-learn,
Little bit a-watching a few more candles burn,
And finding out what life was.
Ooh, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight,
Little bit a-kiss and making up all night,
An' one day, waking 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-watching a few more candles burn,
And finding out what life was.
Mmm, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight,
Little bit a-kiss and making up all night,
An' one day, waking 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.
