Song Lyrics

Poster child for the Christian single
Dumped on more than a birdhouse shingle
Tired of the same old crowd, she starts to
Mingle where she don't belong
All God's bachelors hanging in a bunch
Wolves in Wool-lite beat 'em to the punch
Score another knockout, barely bought her lunch
What went wrong?

Let's talk about real life
Truth and consequences
And coming to our senses
And lies we'd best unlearn

Let's talk about real love
Truth and propaganda
Are you really gonna stand for
A love that waits its turn?

I am the voice of the male agenda
Sensitive, strong or shy, I tend to
Act anyway that would possibly send you
Somewhere we can be alone

You're so sure I'm a would be Christian
Suckered by the "Untamed Heart" condition
Love that feminine intuition
Seen that movie, too

Let's talk about real life
Truth and consequences
And coming to our senses
And lies we'd best unlearn

Let's talk about real love
Truth and propaganda
Are you really gonna stand for
A love that waits its turn?

Ok, ok, ok you've got me figured out
I'm a sham, I never actually studied for the priesthood
I've had lots of destructive relationships
And I know I don't deserve someone like you anyway
It's Just, there's this strange purity about you
Almost a Radiance
Maybe it comes from your religious beliefs, I don't know
I guess what I'm trying to say is
You're unlike any woman I've ever met
Is it getting hot in here?
Can I help you with that jacket?

Oh, let's talk about real life
Truth and consequences
And coming to our senses
And lies we'd best unlearn

Let's talk about real love
Truth and propaganda
Are you really gonna stand for
A love that waits its turn?

Let's talk about real life
Let's talk about real love

Let's talk about real life
Let's talk about real love

Let's talk about real life
Let's talk about real love

Let's talk about real life
Let's talk about real love

Let's talk about real life
Truth and consequences
And coming to our senses
And lies we'd best unlearn

Let's talk about real love
Truth and propaganda
Are you really gonna stand for
A love that waits its turn?

Let's talk about real life
Truth and consequences
And coming to our senses
And lies we'd best unlearn

Let's talk about real love
Truth and propaganda
Are you really gonna stand for
A love that waits its turn?

No, no, I know you've got to go
Oh! No, it's nothing
I've just got this really bad pain in my neck
You don't suppose you could just massage it a little, could you?

Peter Furler, Steve Taylor
