(Vs.1)

We are lovers true and through and though

we made it through the storm

I realy want you to realize

I realy want to put you on

I've been searching for someone to

satisfy my every need

won't you be my inspiration,

be the real love that I need

(Chorus)

Real love. I'm searching for a real love

Someone to set my heart free

Real love. I'm searching for a real love

(Vs.2)

Oooh, when I met you I just knew that

you would take my heart and run

Until you told me how you felt for me

you said I'm not the one

So I slowly came to see

all of the things that you were made of

and now I hope my dreams and inspirations

lead me to want some real love

(Chorus) 1x

(Bridge)

I got to have a real love

Loves so true and oh baby

I thought that love was you

I thought you were the answer to

the question in my mind

but it seems that I was wrong

if I stay strong maybe I'll find my real love

(Vs.3)

So I try my best and pray to God

he'll send me someone real

to caress me and to guide me twards

a love my heart can feel

Now I know I can be faithful

I can be your all in all

I'll give you good luvin' though the summertime,

winter, spring, and fall

(Chorus) 2x's

(During 3rd chorus)

You see I'm searching for a real love

and I don't know where to go

Been around the world and high and low

and still I'll never know

how it feels to have a real love

'cause it seems it's not around

gotta end it in this way because it

seems he can't be found

(Chorus) 2x's
