Real Life Songtext

von Emeli Sandé

Hey yeah
Hmm

If a soldier had a gun to my head
Would you fight or would you just play dead?
If we ain't got no food, ain't got no bread
Would you go work, make sure the kids get fed?

See I know now it's real nice
But what about real life?
I know we got everything we've every dreamed, alright
What about real, real life?

If the years go by and we be gettin' old?
Will you still see me, what you see within' my soul?
'Cause sometimes baby we won't agree
Are we gon' work on it or are you walkin' out on me?

See I know now things are real nice
We got everything, what about real life?
I know the flowers in bloom
Sweet honeymoon, paradise
But what about a real, real life?

I'm talkin' 6 in the mornin', who's feedin' baby?
The landlord keeps callin', you helpin' pay the rent?
Sickness and health, you by my side?
Are you the one baby that's always down to ride?
If I'm in the hospital, will you bring my medicine?
Let's say I lose it all, am I still your everything?
Oh baby I really need to know

I know now things are real nice, alright
What about real life?
I know we got everythin' we've ever dreamed, paradise
Oh but what about a real, real life?

And what about real life? Oh woah
Real, real life
Yes I know the flowers in bloom
Sweet honeymoon, paradise
What about real life?

What about real, real life?
Yeah what about real, real life?
Yeah what about real, real life?
Yeah what about real, real life?
Can I count on you in real life?
Wanna know, hey, hmm real life
