Emeli Sandé - Real Life lyrics

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 mm-mmm, real life
