In Real Life

(album: Nightline - 1983)

People say one thing
Then they'll do another
In real life
They'll break it to the heart
Of an innocent lover
Now and then
No big surprise
Happens all the time
In real life
There you go
Doesn't he need me?
How can he need me?
Was he ever really there
Feel so cold
Ooh what a shame now
There's no one to blame now
It's the world that is unfair

In real life
People say one thing
Then they'll do another
In real life
They'll break it to the heart
Of an innocent lover
Now and then
No big surprise
Happens all the time
In real life

Why can't I learn my lesson
Must be a little bit slow
I guess I'll always be
The first to cry
But last to know

In real life
People say one thing
Then they'll do another
In real life
They'll break it to the heart
Of an innocent lover
Now and then (now and then)
No big surprise
Happens all they time
In real life
