Love In The Real World

There's a picture of a happy coupleIn a frame on a mantle in a housePiece by piece they put their world togetherSome kids a mortage and a pair of wedding vowsShe's a mother and a working womanHe sweats 9 to 5 with big dreams in his headThere's too much month at the end of the moneyWolf's at the door and the bankbook's in the redI guess every fairy tale has a monster underneath the bedWhatever happened to the Prince and CinderellaThat wide-eyed boy and girlWhat happens after happy- ever-afterLove in the real worldShe leaves him notes on the refrigeratorHe phones in messages to say he's working lateSo hard to find a tender moment togetherSo many modern ways to miscommunicateGuess every honey moon has and experation dateWhatever happened to the Prince and CinderellaThat wide-eyed boy and girlWhat happens after happy- ever-afterLove in the real worldThat old photographMay be faded and wornBut when illusions dieTrue love will cary onWhat ever happened to the Prince and CinderellaThat wide-eyed boy and girlThey're graduatin' from happy-ever-afterTo love in the real worldWhat happens after happy-ever-afterLove in the real worldThere's a picture of a happy coupleIn a frame on a mantle in a house
