Real Life - Emeli Sandé

Hey, yeah

Mmm

If a soldier had a gun to my head

Would you fight or would you just play dead?

If we ain’t got no food, ain’t got no bread

Will you go and work, make sure the kids get fed?

See, I know now it’s real nice

But what about real life?

I know we got everything we’d ever dreamed, alright

What about a real, real life?

If the years go by and we be getting old

Will you still see me, will you see within my soul?

Sometimes, baby, we won’t agree

But we gon' work on it, or you walking out on me

See, I know now things are real nice

We got everything, what about real life?

I know the flower’s in bloom, sweet honeymoon paradise

What about real, real life?

I’m talking six in the morning, who’s feeding baby now?

Landlord keeps calling, you helping pay the rent

Sickness and health, you by my side

Are you the one, baby, that’s always down to ride?

If I’m in the hospital, will you bring my medicine?

Let’s say I lose it all, am I still your everything?

Oh, baby, I really need to know

I know now things are real nice, oh right

What about real life?

I know we got everything we’d ever dreamed, paradise

Oh, what about real, real life?

And what about real life?

Oh

Real, real life

Yes, I know the flower’s in bloom, sweet honeymoon paradise

But what about real life?

What about real, real life?

Yeah, what about real, real life?

And what about real, real life?

Yeah, what about real, real life?

Can I count on you in real, real life?

Wanna know, hey

Mmm-mmm, real life
