Lyric Sheet
REAL LOVE WORKS
I?ve been thinkin? about the life we have together
There?s been times when we gone thru some stormy weather
But we?ve learned to walk side by side
There are times when I don?t understand your feelings
There are times when you don?t see the way I see things
But we?ve learned to walk side by side
Making allowances, enjoying the ride
Real love works
It don?t give up when it hurts
It?s not always easy, not always unmarred
But I can?t live without love in my heart
Sometimes I feel withdrawn and uncommunicative
Sometimes she needs her space but she don?t need to say it
Cause we?ve learned to walk side by side
Sometimes a careless word reveals a hidden feeling
Sincere retraction, the beginning of a healing
When we?ve learned to walk side by side
Making allowances, enjoying the ride
Real love works
It don?t give up when it hurts
It?s not always easy, not always unmarred
But I can?t live without love in my heart
