In a 2018 Vevo performance of this song, Ashe said, “‘Real Love’ was sort of my statement of acknowledging that life is both really good and super f-cked– and that no matter who you are, you’re not immune to that truth.” She expanded the statement by explaining that she wanted people to listen so sh...
[Verse 1]
You may not look like me
You may feel differently
But I can tell it from your face
I know hope gets hard to find
No love can fall behind
And I don't need to know your name
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause at the end of the day, yeah
We all go through the same
Shit luck, bad sex, no cash
Foot mouth, break-up, sad ex, yeah
[Chorus]
Everybody, everybody
Everybody wanna have a good life
Too many get a hard knock
Take it with a smile, get by
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody want a fake love
We want that real love
Give us that real love
[Verse 2]
You can't please the whole world
I've tried and I have failed
Only love you'll find is real
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause at the end of the day, yeah
We all go through the same
Shit luck, bad sex, no cash
Foot mouth, break-up, sad ex, yeah
[Chorus]
Everybody, everybody
Everybody wanna have a good life
Too many get a hard knock
Take it with a smile, get by
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody want a fake love
We want that real love
Give us that real love
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Laa, la-laa, la-laa, la-laa)
Everybody, everybody
Everybody wanna have a good life
Too many get a hard knock
Take it with a smile, get by, ohh
[Chorus]
Everybody, everybody
Everybody wanna have a good life
Too many get a hard knock (Ohh)
Take it with a smile, get by
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody want a fake love
We want that real love
Give us that real love
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Ahh, ah-ahh, ah-ahh, ah-ahh)
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (Ahh, ah-ahh, ah-ahh, ah-ahh)
