Steve Goodman - In Real Life lyrics

There she goes Well how could she leave me? Doesn't she need me? She was never really there Feels so cold Oh what a shame now There's no one to blame now It's the world that isn't fair In real life People say one thing, then they do another In real life They break the tender heart of an innocent lover Now and then No big surprise It happens all the time in real life In my dreams she stands in the moonlight She looks into my eyes And tells me she will stay One more night Spend it together Pretend it's forever, but it never works that way In real life People say one thing and then they do another In real life They break the tender heart of an innocent lover Now and then No big surprise It happens all the time in real life Why can't I learn my lesson? I must be a little bit slow Why must I always be the first to cry and the last to know? It happens all the time in real life
