Real Love - Big Thief

Having a bad week?

Let me touch your cheek,

I will always love you.

Having your face hit,

Having your lips split,

By the one who loves you.

Real love, real love, real love makes you lance back,

Real love is a heart attack.

Showing your mother,

To any other,

Lettin' em touch you.

Looking up to her,

Watching her do her,

Make-up and hair.

Real love, real love, real love makes you lance back,

Real love is a heart attack.

Cry like a bird,

Fly like a baby,

Mama got drunk and Daddy went crazy.

If your speech slurs,

If you feel shaky,

Meet me out back i’ll be there waiting.

Riding in the back seat,

Watching the spit fly,

And the hummingbird chime.

Oh mama,

Oh papa.

Oh mama,

Oh papa.

How much blood is withdrawn?

How much blood is withdrawn?

Real love, real love, real love makes you lance back!

Hummingbird watching,

Watching her young sing,

Grow up so fast.

Looking up to her,

Watching her do her,

Make-up and hair.
