Well, I was 18, makin' minimum wage,
|
With a Letterman jacket and a Chevrolet.
|
I thought I was cool, yeah, I ruled the school.
|
You were Cum Laude with the strawberry lips.
|
You had the whole world danglin' at your fingertips,
|
Your senior year, an' I was your daddy's worst fear.
|
We ran off on graduation night.
|
Thought a couple of left-hand rings would make everything all right.
|
|
With a little bit a-live, little bit a-learn,
|
Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn,
|
And findin' out what life was.
|
Ooh, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight,
|
Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night,
|
An' one day wakin' up, oh, in a real love.
|
Yes, that's right.
|
|
Well, I was 22, workin' double overtime.
|
I was spendin' dollars an' makin' dimes.
|
We were overdrawn an' barely hangin' on.
|
An' then one night you came to me,
|
With tears in your eyes and a EPT and said:
|
"Guess what? Yeah, baby ready or not."
|
Well, I just smiled but I was scared to death:
|
How am I gonna' have a kid when I'm still a kid myself.
|
|
With a little bit a-live, little bit a-learn,
|
Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn,
|
And findin' out what life was.
|
Ooh, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight,
|
Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night,
|
An' one day, wakin' up, oh, in a real love.
|
Whoa, in a real love.
|
Yeah, it's a real love.
|
|
Mmmm, with a little bit a-live, little bit a-learn,
|
Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn,
|
And findin' out what life was.
|
Mmm, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight,
|
Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night,
|
An' one day, wakin' up, oh, in a real love.
|
Yeah, baby, it's a real love.
|
Yeah, it's a real love, baby.
|
Whoa, it's a real, real, real, real, real, real, real love.
|
Yeah, that's right.
|
Hey.
