Verse 1
I was 18, workin' 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 finger tips
Your senior year, and I was your Daddy's worst fear
We ran off on graduation night
We thought a couple of left hand rings would make everything all right
Chorus
With a little bit of live, little bit of learn
Little bit of watching a few more candles burn, and
Finding out what life was ooh
With a little bit of fuss, little bit of fight
Little bit of kiss and makin' up all night, and
One day wakin' up, oh, in a real love
Verse 2
I was 22, working double overtime,
I was spending dollars and making dimes
We were overdrawn, and barely hanging on
Then one night you came to me
With tears in your eyes and an EPT and said
"Guess what...yeah, baby, ready or not"
I just smiled, but I was scared to death
How am I gonna have a kid when I'm still a kid myself?
Chorus
With a little bit of live, little bit of learn
Little bit of watching a few more candles burn, and
Finding out what life was ooh
With a little bit of fuss, little bit of fight
Little bit of kiss and makin' up all night, and
One day wakin' up, oh, in a real love Whoa, in a real love
Yeah, it's a real love.........mmm...
Chorus
G(stop) (No Chords)
With a little bit of live, little bit of learn
Little bit of watching a few more candles burn, and
Finding out what life was, ooh
With a little bit of fuss, little bit of fight
Little bit of kiss and makin' up all night, and
One day wakin' up, oh, in a real love
Yeah baby...it's a real love
