In Real Life - Steve Goodman

There she goes

Well how could she leave me?

Doesn’t she need me?

She was never really there

Feels so cold

Oh what a shame now

There’s no one to blame now

It’s the world that isn’t fair

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

In my dreams she stands in the moonlight

She looks into my eyes

And tells me she will stay

One more night

Spend it together

Pretend it’s forever, but it never works that way

In real life

People say one thing and 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

Why can’t I learn my lesson?

I must be a little bit slow

Why must I always be the first to cry and the last to know?

It happens all the time in real life
