Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Having a bad week?
Let me touch your cheek
I will always love you
Having your face hit
Having your lips split
By the one who loves you
Real love, real love, real love makes your lungs black
Real love is a heart attack
[Verse 2]
Showing your mother
To any other
Letting 'em touch you
Looking up to her
Watching her do her
Make-up and hair
Real love, real love, real love makes your lungs black
Real love is a heart attack
[Verse 3]
Cry like a bird
Fly like a baby
Mama got drunk and Daddy went crazy
If your speech slurs
If you feel shaky
Meet me out back I'll be there waiting
Riding in the back seat
Watching the spit fly
And the humming bird chime
[Verse 4]
Oh mama
Oh papa
Oh mama
Oh papa
How much blood is withdrawn?
How much blood is withdrawn?
[Verse 5]
Real love, real love, real love makes your lungs black
[Verse 6]
Hummingbird watching
Watching her young sing
Grow up so fast
Looking up to her
Watching her do her
Make-up and hair
