Real World - Richard Marx

I remember me sittin on my daddys 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

Im livin in the real world

Everythings written in black and white

Livin in the real world

Where you dont get nothin unless you fight

I wanna relax but I dont know how

The pressures on me are much stronger now

I remember the days I didnt have a care

Aside from being afraid somebodyd cut my hair

I wanna make it Before my chances are gone

They say be patient

But it takes too long

Im livin in the real world

Everythings written in black and white

Livin in the real world

Where you dont get nothin unless you fight

Real world

Where there aint no holiday in sight

Livin in the real world

Where you dont get nothin unless you fight

Someday soon Ill settle down for good

There was a time I thought I never would

Im gonna live with a lady on a quiet beach

Im gonna have three kids, maybe one of each

Ive got to make it Before my chances are gone

They say be patient

But it takes too long

Im livin in the real world

Everythings written in black and white

Livin in the real world

Where you dont get nothin unless you fight

Real world

Where there aint no holiday in sight

Livin in the real world

Where you dont get nothin unless you fight
