In A Real Love

I was 18 makin' minimum wageWith a letterman jacket and a ChevroletThought I was coolYeah I ruled the schoolYou were Cum Laude with the strawberry lipsHad the whole world danglin' at your fingertipsYour senior yearAnd I was your daddy's worst fearWe ran off on graduation nightThought a couple of left hand rings would make everything alrightWith a little bit a liveLittle bit a learnLittle bit a watchin' a few more candles burnAnd findin' out what life wasWith a little bit o' fussLittle bit a fightLittle bit a kiss and makin' up all nightAnd one day wakin' up in a real loveWell I was 22 workin' double overtimeI was spendin' dollars and makin' dimesWe were overdrawn and barely hangin' onThen one night you came to meWith tears in your eyes and an EPTAnd said "guess what, yeah, baby ready or not"Well, I just smiled but I was scared to deathHow am I gonna' have a kid when I'm still a kid myselfWith a little bit a liveLittle bit a learnLittle bit a watchin' a few more candles burnAnd findin' out what life wasWith a little bit a fussLittle bit a fightLittle bit a kiss and makin' up all nightAnd one day wakin' up in a real loveYeah baby, it's a real love
