Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Darling, I know I'm just another head on your pillow
If only just tonight, girl, let me hear you laugh just a little
[Verse 2]
Tell me I'm the only man that you ever really loved
Honey, take me back in my memory
That's when it was all very right, so very nice
(So very nice) So very nice
[Verse 3]
Here, darling, stands another bandit wanting you
In and out your life, they come and they go, baby
Your days and night like a wheel that turns
Grindin' down a secret part of you
Deep inside your heart that nobody knows, baby
[Verse 4]
When you say "comfort me" to anyone who approaches
Chalkin' up the hurt, you live and you learn
[Verse 5]
Well, we've both lived long enough to know
That we'd trade it all right now
For just one minute of real love, darling
[Verse 6]
Real love, hey, baby
(Real love) I need to believe in
(Real love) Real love, baby
(Real love) Real love, darling
(Real love)
[Verse 7]
When you say "comfort me" to anyone who approaches
Chalking up the hurt, we live and we learn
[Verse 8]
Well, we've both lived long enough to know
That we'd trade it all right now
For just one minute of real love, darling
[Verse 9]
Real love, real love
Real love, real love
Real love
(Real love) Woah, oh
(Real love) I need to believe in
(Real love) Real love, darling
(Real love) Oh, just one minute of
(Real love) Real love, baby
(Real love) Just one minute of
(Real love)
