Years ago, in my mind but in my heart it's not so long
I thought I knew what love was, I was oh so wrong
found myself moving on.
I met a boy with a perfect face and smile, hardbody build.
My days were full of laughter nights were passion filled.
And I said to myself, there could be no one else.
He courted me and showered me with most expensive things
bought bouquets of flowers, precious diamond rings
and we had so much fun. So sure he was the one
this love's for real. This is so much more than I
thought it could never be. This love's for real
I feel like all my hopes and dreams
are flying high and free.
Soon I had found that love was so much more
than giving into him, all he would ask me for
seeing we stood on different moral ground
just when I needed him the most, he'd never be around
my love's for real.
I have given so much more than I ever received
my love's for real.
Never again will I trade love, for what I truly believe
I met a man with a personality that really shines
I pray this time he'll stay and that he's truly mine
Cause he brings so much joy; into my world
he promised me there would never be another in his life
on bended knee he asked me if I would be his wife
my battle I have won; I know he is the one
this love's for real
this is so much more than I thought it could ever be
this love's for real
I feel like all my hopes and dreams are flying high and free.
My love's for real
never again will I trade love for what I truly believe
