Song Lyrics

Forgot to tell you
Sins are very hard to say
And you know that the words are there, my love
When I first saw you
I didn't notice it that day
Now you're the one I'm thinking of.

[Chorus:]
Oh, you never bring me down
Make me sad, 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, 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.

[Chorus]
Oh, you never bring me down
Make me sad, it's such a change, oh yeah (oh yeah)
If I was insecure
That was yesterday and now I'm sure
Oh, so sure.

[Chorus]
Oh, you never bring me down
Make me sad, 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.

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