The Real World

(v. peterson)
Vicki

I want you

I don't want to sleep, go on and speak
Wearing out the carpet with my feet

And i want you
I want you

You don't know how bad you've got me hooked
I hate myself 'cause you don't like my looks

I want you
I want you
Oh ah, oh ah
I want you

Everything's still playing in my head
I'm twisting and i'm crying in my bed

I want you
Yeah, i want you

It's not fair
I should be there too
With you

Here i am still trying to erase
Everything, your voice, your smile, your face

I want you
Yeah, i want you
Oh ah, oh ah
I want you

'cause i want you
Yeah, i want you

Got to tell you
It seems so very hard to say
And you know that the words are there, my love

When i first saw you
Didn't notice it that day
Now you're the one i'm thinking of

Oh, you never bring me down
Inside it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If i was insecure
That was yesterday and now i'm sure
Oh so sure (oh so sure)

When i was a little girl
I wanted everything ideal
Yeah, and a love i could depend on

This is the real world
And i believe our love is real
And it's the only thing i'm counting on

Oh, you never bring me down
Inside it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If i was insecure
That was yesterday and now i'm sure
Oh so sure

Oh, you never bring me down
Inside it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If i was insecure
That was yesterday and now i'm sure
Oh so sure

This is the real world
I really want to be a girl

This is the real world (real world)
I really want to be a girl

This is the real world (real world)
I really want to be a girl

Your father is a v.i.p.
He thinks he's always right
Your mother watches her t.v.
Won't talk to you all night

Couldn't help sitting up so high
He's gotta find love
He's never seen a flower tree
Or anything that close

And everyday i'll pass and say
Hey!

How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
According to you i just don't care
I'm falling on the ground

First time that you saw me
Said you'd hope i would change
Well, your friends took one look at me
And they sure acted strange

Haven't seen you in a month
And you wonder what it's all about
Well, next time i'm in prison, love
Come and, well bail me out

And everyday i'll pass and say
Hey!

How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
According to you i just don't care
I'm falling on the ground

You tried to put the blame on me
You've got a lot of nerve
You say you're so lonely, well
It's all that you deserve

When you get tired of your
Love of life in high society
Well, get some kicks and take a trip
And come on down with me

And everyday i'll pass and say
Hey!

How is the air up there
How is the air up there
How is the air up there
According to you i just don't care
I'm falling on the ground

How is the air up there...
