Album: Bangles (1982)

The Real World

Got to tell you
It seems so very hard to say
And you know that the words are there, my love

When I first saw you
Didn't notice it that day
Now you're the one I'm thinking of

Oh, you never bring me down
Inside it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh so sure (oh so sure)

When I was a little girl
I wanted everything ideal
Yeah, and a love I could depend on

This is the real world
And I believe our love is real
And it's the only thing I'm counting on

Oh, you never bring me down
Inside it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh so sure

Oh, you never bring me down
Inside it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh so sure

This is the real world
I really want to be a girl

This is the real world (real world)
I really want to be a girl

This is the real world (real world)
I really want to be a girl
