In A Real Love Lyrics - Shaken Not Stirred - Phil Vassar

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 Cum Laude 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 a-live, little bit a-learn 

Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn 

And findin' out what life was 

Ooh, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight 

Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night 

An' one day wakin' up, oh in a real love, yeah, 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 a E P T 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 still a kid myself 

With a little bit a-live, little bit a-learn 

Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn 

And findin' out what life was 

Ooh, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight 

Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night 

An' one day, wakin' up, oh, in a real love 

Oh in a real love, yeah, it's a real love 

With a little bit a-live, little bit a-learn 

Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn 

And findin' out what life was 

With a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight 

Little bit a-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 

Oh it's a real, real, real, real, real, real, real love 

Yeah, that's right
