Welcome to the Real World Songtext
von Average White Band

You said love was just a fantasy
Nothing you need in your life
That little weakness in humanity
You never thought you would try

In my experience you must agree
What all the world′s tryna find
Only looking for that special someone
To turn the water to wine

So wake up, look around
Time is slippin' through our fingers so fast (slippin′ away)
If it's love (if it's love) that you′ve found
Welcome to the real world at last

Could it be you′ve had a change of heart?
Even if it's hard to admit
Every day you′re gettin' closer to me
Why must you try to resist


So wake up (wake up), look around (look around)
Time is slippin′ through our fingers so fast
(Slippin' through our fingers, baby)
If it′s love that you've found (real love)
Welcome to the real world at last

Don't get caught up in the words you say
Let your heart show the way, baby

So wake up (wake up), look around (look around)
Time is slippin′ (slippin′) through our fingers so fast (slippin' away)
If it′s love that we've found (we′ve found)
Welcome to the real world at last, oh baby

So wake up (wake up), look around (look around)
Time is slippin' through our fingers so fast
(Time is slippin′, slippin' away)
If it's love (oh, babe) that we′ve found (love that we′ve found now)
Welcome to the real world at last (oh, come on in, baby

So wake up (wake up), look around (look around)
Time is slippin' through our fingers so fast
(Time is slippin′ away, babe)
If it's love that we′ve found
Welcome to the real world at last
