Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We are lovers through and through

And though we made it through the storm

I really want you to realize

I really want to put you on

I've been searching for someone

To satisfy my every need

Won't you be my inspiration

Be the real love that I need?

[Chorus]

Real love

I'm searching for a real love

Someone to set my heart free, real love

I'm searching for a real love

[Verse 2]

Ooh, when I met you

I just knew that you would take my heart and run

Until you told me how you felt for me

You said I'm not the one

So I slowly came to see

All of the things that you were made of

And now I hope my dreams and inspirations

Lead me towards a real love

[Chorus]

Real love

I'm searching for a real love

Someone to set my heart free, real love

I'm searching for a real love

I got to have a real love

[Bridge]

Love so true and, oh, baby

I thought that love was you

I thought you were the answer to the question in my mind

But it seems that I was wrong

If I stayed strong, maybe I'll find my real love

[Verse 3]

So I try my best and pray to God

He send me someone real

To caress me and to guide me

Towards a love my heart can feel

Now I know I can be faithful

I can be your all in all

I'll give you good loving through the summertime

Winter, spring and fall

[Chorus]

Real love

I'm searching for a real love (For a real love, real love, real love)

Someone to set my heart free, real love

I'm searching for a real love

[Chorus]

Real love

I'm searching for a real love

Someone to set my heart free, real love

I'm searching for a real love

[Bridge]

You see, I'm searching for a real love (Real love)

And I don't know where to go (I'm searching for a real love)

Been around the world, been high and low (Someone to set my heart free)

And still I'll never know

How it feels to have a real love (Real love)

'Cause it seems that's not around (I'm searching for a real love)

Gotta end it in this way because

It seems he can't be found

[Chorus]

Real love

I'm searching for a real love

Someone to set my heart free, real love

I'm searching for a real love

[Chorus]

Real love

I'm searching for a real love

Someone to set my heart free, real love

I'm searching for a real love

[Outro]
