Phil Vassar - In a Real Love Lyrics

I was 18 makin' minimum wage
With a letterman jacket and a Chevrolet

Thought I was cool
Yeah I ruled the school
You we're Cum Laude with the strawberry lips
Had the whole world danglin' at your fingertips
Your senior year

And I was your daddy's worst fear
We ran off on graduation night
Thought a couple of left hand rings would make everything alright

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 o' fuss
Little bit a fight
Little bit a kiss and makin' up all night

And one day wakin' up in a real love
Well I was 22 workin' double overtime
I was spendin' dollars and makin' dimes
We we're overdrawn and barely hangin' on
Then one night you came to me
With tears in your eyes and an 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 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
With a little bit a fuss
Little bit a fight
Little bit a kiss and makin' up all night
And one day wakin' up in a real love
Yeah baby, it's a real love
