Emeli Sand - Real Life Lyrics

Hey, yeah
Mmmhm

If I saw I 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
Will 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 ever dreamed, alright
What about a real, real life?

If the years go by and we be getting old
Will you still see me, will you see within my soul?
'Cause sometimes, baby, we won't agree
But we gon' work on it, or you walking 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
What about a real, real life?

I'm talking six in the morning, who's feeding baby now?
Landlord keeps calling, you helping 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, oh right
But what about real life?
I know we got everything we've ever dreamed, paradise
Oh, what about a real, real life?
And what about real life? Oh
Real, real life
Yes, I know the flowers in bloom, sweet honeymoon, paradise
But what about real life?

What about real, real life?
Yeah, what about real, real life?
And what about real, real life?
Yeah, what about real, real life?
Can I count on you in real life?
Wanna know, hey
Mmm-mmm, real life
