Real Live Woman

I don't buy the lines in magazines, that tell me what I've gotta be

I don't base my life on the movie screen

I don't fit the mold society has planned



I don't need to be nineteen years old,

Or starve myself for some weight I'm told

Will turn men's heads, been down that road

And I thank God I finally know..just who I am



I ain't a movie star,

They never see the view from where they are

And this old town may be as far as I'm going

What he'll hold tonight, in his hands

He swears is so much better than

Anything that this old world can show him



Cause I'm a real, live woman

In love with this man I see lying here next to me

Lost in the way that he's holding

This real, live woman

In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep knowing there's

Nothing on earth he loves more than,

This real, live, woman



I work 9 to 5 and I can't relate

To millionaires who somehow fate

Has smiled upon and fortune made their

Common lives a better place, to be



And I no longer justify, reasons for the way that I behave

I offer no apologies, for the things that I believe and say

And I like it that way



Chorus:

Cause I'm a real, live woman

In love with this man I see lying here next to me

Lost in the way that he's holding

This real, live, woman

In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep knowing there's

Nothing on earth he loves more than,

This real, live, woman.
