In Real Life by Robbie Dupree Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There she goes
Doesn't she need me?
How could she leave me?
She was never really there
It feels so cold
Ooh, what a shame now
There's no one to blame now
It's the world that isn't fair

[Chorus]
In real life
People say one thing, then they do another
In real life
They break what's in the heart of an innocent lover
Now and then, no big surprise
It happens all the time
In real life

[Verse 2]
Time goes by
It slips through our fingers
But something still lingers
'Cause my heart wants her to stay
Just one more night
We'll spend it together
Pretend it's forever
But it doesn't work that way
[Chorus]
In real life
People say one thing, then they do another
In real life
They break the tender heart of an innocent lover
Now and then, no big surprise
It happens all the time
In real life

[Bridge]
If love is the only answer, why does it hurt me so?
Why must I always be the first to cry, the last to know?

[Chorus]
In real life
People say one thing, then they do another
In real life
They break the tender heart of an innocent lover
Now and then, no big surprise
It happens all the time
In real life

[Outro]
(Real life)
People say one thing, then they do another
In real life
They break the tender heart of an innocent lover
Now and then, no big surprise
It happens all the time
In real life
