[Verse 1]

I'm in love with the real world

It's mutual, or so it seems

'cause only in the real world

Do things happen like they do in my dreams

[Pre-Chorus]

Some of the rules may be different

But maybe they'll stay the same

[Chorus]

In the real world, in the real world

In the real world, we both win when we play the same game

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't even know what your name is

But I just hope that you'll stay

[Chorus]

In the real world, in the real world

In the real world, things happen this way

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't even know what your name is

But I just hope that you'll stay

[Chorus]

In the real world, in the real world

In the real world, we both win when we play the same game

Hey, in the real world, in a real world

In the real world, by the way, what's your name?
