Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When love is for real (For real, for real)
It's always true attraction
You alone can give me
When love is for real (For real, for real)
It's always true attraction
You alone has shown me eh
So much troubles on this path
So much hurdle there is to jump
I have seen the better side of life
Cos you gave me so much hope
Make me no foe
You are the brightest star I've ever seen
You are the comfort that I seek
The Angel of my being
I could never stop my love for you baby
Hold me now to your heart
And cause me no fear eh eh...
When love is for real (For real, for real)
It's always true attraction
You alone can give me
When love is for real (For real, for real)
It's always true attraction
You alone has shown me eh...
When love is for real (For real, for real)
It's always true attraction
You alone can give me
When love is for real (For real, for real)
It's always true attraction
You alone has shown me eh...
When love is for real (For real, for real)
It's always true attraction
You alone can give me
When love is for real (For real, for real)




It's always true attraction
You alone has shown me eh...
