(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
