Intruders, The - A Love That's Real Lyrics






Jack went up the hill for Jill
To get her a pail of water
To show her that he loved her
(Ooh, he loved her)
He really, really loved her
(Ooh, he loved her)

Romeo told Juliet
Something that she could never forget
To show he loved her
(Ooh, he loved her)
He really, really loved her

Whoa, [?] in a storybook
A play of fantasy
They could never compare
With the love between you and me

Because we got a love we can feel
We got a love that's really real
We got a love we can feel
We got a love that's really real

He was such a determined fella
He searched all over for Cinderella
To show he loved her
(Ooh, he loved her)
He really, really loved her
(Ooh, he loved her)

Mary's lamb was white as snow
He followed her wherever she'd go
To show he loved her
(Ooh, he loved her)
He really, really loved her

Whoa, [?] in a storybook
A play of fantasy
They could never compare
With the love between you and me

Because we got a love we can feel
We got a love that's really real
We got a love we can feel
We got a love that's really real

    Anybody who love the intruders and want to see THE ORIGINAL group members all together and singing go to the "SOUL TRAIN-I WANNA KNOW YOUR NAME" thumbnail shown on this page. You will see LITTLE SONNY in the flesh singing.HE is the lead vocal on A LOVE THATS REAL, TOGETHER, COWBOYS TO GIRLS, UNITED and LOVE IS A BASEBALL GAME.His voice and the backing vocals of Big Sonny, Phil and Bird made hundreds of moments in my teenage life so memorable and happy for me. I have the 45's of my favorites and I still enjoy their music. Great group!

    Really love the Intruders! !! reminds me of Griffith and party at Susan's home cross street from ELA.

    V.... H....

    The finest.

    V.... H....

    The Intruders from Philadelphia were one of the well-renowned & Idolized groups of the 60's & 70's. I recalled when I saw them perform the 1968 hit "Cowboys & Girls" on Soul Train. Ever since I knew that I always wanted to be an R&B singer. Thanks for the memories.

    V.... H....

    Vaughn Hill

  64. R.... G....

    a two sided hit from 1967--Baby I'm so Lonely and this song. both on the Lp The Intruders Together!! still have the album, yes the album not the Cd.

  65. D.... Y....

    I just imagine me and my homeboys kicking back with my radio blasting this song just bullshitting and enjoying each others company

  66. s.... ....

    philly sound to 3rd power

  67. s.... ....

    philly sound to 3rd power

  68. c.... ....

    why did they stop?? I'll tell you why. Because the lead singer you are hearing, "Little Sonny" died. And when he died, the sound and voice of the Intruders also died. That's his voice you hear if you play COWBOYS TO GIRLS, that's his voice you hear in UNITED, that's his voice in TOGETHER. It was Little Sonny and those incredible backing vocals that gave the Intruders their unmistakable and distinctive sound and it all ended when the lead vocal died. Oh they got a replacement and tried to continue, but Little Sonny's characteristic "broken voice" left a huge hole in the group. As of now ALL the original group members are dead. Only their incredible music lives on!
