A Real Love Survives
No Doubt · Other Songs - No Doubt
Rock steady, rock steady
Our love is rock steady
Love is like a punishment
Homegirl here to represent
So innocently you seem to come my way
While Tinkerbell and Cupid play
They sit there and laugh
I sit here and I can't believe my eyes
You found me at last
But we're too human to see the way we'll agonize
A real love survives a rock steady vibe
A real love survives a rock steady vibe
Rock steady, rock steady
Our love is so rock steady
Rock steady
Steady now, stop rocking it
It's a delicate environment
Retire but sleeping is a Shanti love
Be careful now don't wake it up
It's never gonna last
It's never gonna make it back alive
So now can we relax
I really hope that we will actually survive
A real love survives a rock steady vibe
A real love survives a rock steady vibe
It's never gonna last
It's never gonna makes it back alive
So now can we relax
I really hope that we will actually survive
A real love survives a rock steady vibe
A real love survives a rock steady vibe
Rock steady
Our love is so rock steady
Rock steady, rock steady
A Real Love Survives
Released by No Doubt, 'A Real Love Survives' stands as a testament to the group's enduring ability to blend pop sensibilities with rock energy.

The song reflects a broader cultural fascination with themes of resilience and enduring connection, themes central to No Doubt's discography. It serves as a powerful reminder of the band's capacity to craft anthems that resonate across generations, maintaining a place in the collective memory of pop music history alongside their most iconic hits.
