Marx, Richard - Real World Lyrics






I remember me sittin' on my daddy's
Knee
Dreamin' about what life had in store for me
When I look back now it really makes me mad
The years I took for granted were the best I had
School was alright
Gave me time to fantasize
But one day I woke up
And I realized
I'm livin' in the real world
Everything's written in black and white
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight
I wanna relax but I don't know how

The pressures on me are much stronger now
I remember the days I didn't have a care
Aside from being afraid somebody'd cut my hair
I wanna make it
Before my chances are gone
They say be patient
But it takes too long
I'm livin' in the real world
Everything's written in black and white
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight
Real world
Where there ain't no holiday in sight
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight
Someday soon I'll settle down for
Good
There was a time I thought I never would
I'm gonna live with a lady on a quiet beach
I'm gonna have three kids, maybe one of each
I've got to make it
Before my chances are gone
They say be patient
But it takes too long
I'm livin' in the real world
Everything's written in black and white
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight
Real world
Where there ain't no holiday in sight
Livin' in the real world
Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight

  1. J.... Y....

    From Japan.

    Even though I didn't know English at all, I listened the song spree enough to be worn out in childhood.
    and I was able to be interested in many things of "Real World".

    Appreciate Richard Marx!

    Real World
    -Richard Marx

    I remember me sittin' on my daddy's knee
    Dreamin' 'bout what life had in store for me
    When I look back now it really makes me mad
    The years I took for granted were the best I had

    School was alright
    Gave me time to fantasize
    But one day I woke up
    And I realized

    I'm livin' in the real world
    Everything's written in black and white
    Livin' in the real world
    Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight

    I want to relax but I don't know how
    The pressures on me are much stronger now
    I remember the days I didn't have a care
    Aside from being afraid somebody'd cut my hair

    I want to make it
    Before my chances are gone
    They say be patient
    But it takes too long

    Real world
    Where there ain't no holiday in sight
    Livin' in the real world
    Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight

    Someday soon I'll settle down for good
    There was a time I thought I never would
    I'm gonna live with a lady on a quiet beach
    I'm gonna have three kids, maybe one of each

    I've got to make it
    Before my chances are gone
    They say be patient
    But it takes too long

    Real world
    Where there ain't no holiday in sight
    Livin' in the real world
    Where you don't get nothin' unless you fight
