Real Love
Cutty Ranks feat. Beres Hammond Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Talking 'bout, talking 'bout it, talking 'bout it
Can't stop talking about it
Yeah, can't
This is real love
That I'm giving you now
Talking about real love
That I'm giving you now

I'm not talking about a dollar or a small time chum change
Talking about a love that gets stronger with age
Things that I should have done a long time ago
Ready for your love honey, give me the gold

This is real love
That I'm giving you now
I'm a talking about real love
That I'm giving you now

Remembering the times when I used to run around
You used to tell me I'd never settle down
Want you to give your love, but you were so afraid
Stealing my heart

This is real love
That I'm giving you now
I'm a talking about real love
That I'm giving you now
Can't stop talking about it
Can't stop talking about it
Can't stop talking about it
Can't stop talking about it

I'm ah juggling for the moment
Not much cash in the bank
Don't intend to pose on you, as of the plan
I'm laying down my cards
So you can read them well
Nothing to hide, not much more to tell

This is real love
That I'm giving you now
I'm a talking about a real love
That I'm giving you now
Can't stop talking about it
Can't stop talking about it
Can't stop talking about it
Can't stop talking about it

I'm not talking about a dollar or a small time chum change
Talking about a love that gets stronger with age
Things that I should have done a long time ago
Ready for your love honey, give me the gold

This is real love
That I'm giving you now
I'm a talking about a real love
That I'm giving you now
Can't stop talking about it
Can't stop talking about it

Can't stop talking about it
Can't stop talking about it
