In my dreams
We stand in the moonlight
He looks into my eyes
And tells me that he'll stay
One more night
We spend it together
Pretend it's forever
Well it doesn't work that way
In real life
People say one thing
Then they'll do another
In real life
They'll break the tender heart
Of an innocent lover
Now and then
No big surprise
Happens all the time
In real life
There you go
Doesn't he need me?
How can he need me?
Was he ever really there
Feel so cold
Ooh what a shame now
There's no one to blame now
It's the world that is unfair
In real life
People say one thing
Then they'll do another
In real life
They'll break the tender heart
Of an innocent lover
Now and then
No big surprise
Happens all the time
In real life
Why can't I learn my lesson
Must be a little bit slow
I guess I'll always be
The first to cry
But last to know
In real life
People say one thing
Then they'll do another
In real life
They'll break the tender heart
Of an innocent lover
Now and then
No big surprise
Happens all the time
In real life
