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
