Real Love
Regina Spektor · Other Songs - Regina Spektor
All my little plans and schemes,
Lost like some forgotten dreams,
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for for you.
Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for love
Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love
Yes, it's real love
Oh, it's real love
Yes it's real love
From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love
Don't need to be afraid
No need to be afraid
It's real love
Yes it's real love
Oh it's real love
Yes it's real love
Thought I'd been in love before
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love
Yes it's real love
Oh it's real love
Yes it's real love
Oh it's real love
Yes it's real love
Oh it's real love
Yes it's real love
Oh it's real love
Yes it's real love
Oh it's real love
Yes it's real love
Lost like some forgotten dreams,
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for for you.
Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for love
Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love
Yes, it's real love
Oh, it's real love
Yes it's real love
From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love
Don't need to be afraid
No need to be afraid
It's real love
Yes it's real love
Oh it's real love
Yes it's real love
Thought I'd been in love before
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you
Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone
It's real love
Yes it's real love
Oh it's real love
Yes it's real love
Oh it's real love
Yes it's real love
Oh it's real love
Yes it's real love
Oh it's real love
Yes it's real love
Oh it's real love
Yes it's real love
