Emeli Sandé- Real Life Lyrics

Emeli Sandé- Real Life Lyrics

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

See, I know now what’s real nice
But what about real life?
I know we got everything we’ve ever dreamed, alright
But what about 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
Are we gon’ work on it, or are you walkin’ out on me?

See, I know now things are real nice
We got everything
But what about real life?
I know the flower’s in bloom, sweet honeymoon paradise
But what about real, real life?

I’m talkin’ six in the morning
Who’s feeding baby?
And the 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, alright
But what about real life?
I know we got everything we’ve ever dreamed, paradise
Oh, but 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?
Yeah, what about real, real life?
Yeah, what about real, real life?
Can I count on you?
In real life
I wanna know, hey, hmm mmm, real life
