Real Life

Girls Aloud · What Will The Neighbours Say? [2004]

Appears on the CD single of "I'll Stand by You"



Coz baby this is real life

You wanna get your mind on your occupation

The moment's got to feel right

Coz honey if it don't then get out the station

Coz baby this is real life

You wanna get your mind on your occupation

The moment's got to feel right

Coz honey if it don't then get out the station



You've gotta get it, you've gotta get it

And pretty soon you'll find the figures fit

You've gotta get it, you've gotta get it

And find your groove before the others trip



It started with a look

And pretty soon it was a valentine

And when the whole earth shook

I passed him over to a friend of mine

He started as a squeeze

But pretty soon he was a tourniquet

I'll take my life back please

I liked it better with the time to play



(Show us your look)

I think I'm falling

(Show us your look)

I'm not done crawling

(Show us that look)

Or I'll keep stalling you

I was thinking of nights without you

Damn right I'll see it through

And I was thinking of life without me

And now I know it's just insanity



Coz baby this is real life

You wanna get your mind on your occupation

The moment's got to feel right

Coz honey if it don't then get out the station

Coz baby this is real life

You wanna get your mind on your occupation

The moment's got to feel right

Coz honey if it don't then get out the station



Dance while your dollar going up, up, up

And catch your lucky number whilst it's rising, rising

Chance comes a calling going knock, knock, knock

It's better to be living than surviving



It started with a kiss

And pretty soon it was a compromise

Oh baby kung fu twist

I pulled his focus back in on my mind

It started with a drink

That pretty soon became a waterfall

But then my face turned pink

Coz I believed him when he said he'd call

(said he'd call)



(Show us your look)

I think I'm falling

(Show us your look)

I'm not done crawling

(Show us that look)

Or I'll keep stalling you

I was thinking of nights without you

Damn right I'll see it through

And I was thinking of life without me

And now I know it's just insanity



Coz baby this is real life

You wanna get your mind on your occupation

The moment's got to feel right

Coz honey if it don't then get out the station

Coz baby this is real life

You wanna get your mind on your occupation

The moment's got to feel right

Coz honey if it don't then get out the station



Dance while your dollar going up, up, up

And catch your lucky number whilst it's rising, rising

Chance comes a calling going knock, knock, knock

It's better to be living than surviving, viving



Dance while your dollar going up, up, up

And catch your lucky number whilst it's rising, rising

Chance comes a calling going knock, knock, knock

It's better to be living than surviving, viving, viving, viving, viving
