Lyrics

Well, I was 18, makin' minimum wage
With a letterman jacket and a chevrolet
I thought I was cool, yeah, I ruled the school
You were cum laude with the strawberry lips
You had the whole world danglin' at your fingertips
Your senior year, an' I was your daddy's worst fear
We ran off on graduation night
Thought a couple of left-hand rings would make everything all right

With a little bit a-live, little bit a-learn
Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn
And findin' out what life was
Ooh, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight
Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night
An' one day wakin' up, oh, in a real love
Yes, that's right

Well, I was 22, workin' double overtime
I was spendin' dollars an' makin' dimes
We were overdrawn an' barely hangin' on
An' then one night you came to me
With tears in your eyes and a ept and said:
"Guess what? yeah, baby ready or not."
Well, I just smiled but I was scared to death:
How am I gonna' have a kid when I'm still a kid myself

With a little bit a-live, little bit a-learn
Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn
And findin' out what life was
Ooh, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight
Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night
An' one day, wakin' up, oh, in a real love
Whoa, in a real love
Yeah, it's a real love

Mmmm, with a little bit a-live, little bit a-learn
Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn
And findin' out what life was
Mmm, with a little bit a-fuss, little bit a-fight
Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night
An' one day, wakin' up, oh, in a real love
Yeah, baby, it's a real love
Yeah, it's a real love, baby
Whoa, it's a real, real, real, real, real, real, real love
Yeah, that's right
Hey
