Real World Lyrics

i'm in love with the real world
it's mutual or so it seems
'cos only in the real world
do things happen like they do in my dreams
some of the rules may be different
but maybe they'll stay the same in the real world
in the real world
in the real world
we both win when we play the same game
i'm in love with somebody
i wish somebody loved me too
you may wonder how this concerns you
well perhaps the somebody is you
i don't even know what your name is
but i just hope that you'll stay in the real world
in the real world
in the real world
things happen this way
i'm in love with somebody
i wish somebody loved me too
you may wonder how this concerns you
well perhaps the somebody is you
i don't even know what your name is
but i just hope that you'll stay in the real world
in the real world
in the real world
we both win when we play the same game
in the real world
in a real world
in a real world by the way what's your name

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
