The Real Life Lyrics

  Send "What's Real?" Ringtone to your Cell  

She's strutting down the street
With a diamond necklace
The size of a dime
It looks real nice
When it shines
It lights up the world around her
But it's only in her mind

He's speeding up the road
In his red ferrari
Goes so fast always in a hurry
What's the point if ya get dead in the scurry
You'll be leaving it all behind

What a shame it is (doesn't' have to be that way)
So lame it is (gonna have to pay to play)
A game like this (that's the way it is)
Unless ya know

What's real
Is the beauty inside your soul
What's real
Is that everyone's gonna get old
What's real
Is the time that you take to check in
Not the sale of material things
They fade
And all you're left with is how ya feel
And that's what's real

She gotta go gotta fly
Doesn't stop to kiss her kid
Be good is all she said
As she's grabbing her keys and escaping her life
She said she'd be home soon but she lied

And her kid tells her friends at school
That her mom is really cool
Smiles for the camera
Gets her face in all the magazines
It's a superficial beauty scene

And they keep in touch (but she's such a lonely girl)
But it don't mean much (livin' in a lonely world)
Cuz I heard her say (tryin to be brave she)
Can't help her wondering

[Chorus]

Love each other while u still got time
Tell your mother she's been on your mind
Kiss your brother just cuz he looks fine
Wear the red dress
Love at first sight
Put the top down
Feel the sunshine

[Chorus]
