Real Love
Marit Bergman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are lovers true and through
And though we made it through the storm
I really want you to realize
I really want to put you on
I've been searching for someone
To satisfy my every need
Be the real love that I need
Real love
I'm searching for some real love
It's always in my heart
Real love
I'm searching for a real love
Oh when I met you I just knew
That you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you felt for me
You said I'm not the one
So I slowly came to see
All of the things that you were made of
And now I hope my dreams and inspiration
Lead me towards a real love
Real love
I'm searching for some real love
It's always in my heart
Real love
I'm searching for some real love
oh, baby
I thought that love was you
I thought you were the answer
To the questions in my mind
But it seems that I was wrong
If I stay strong maybe I'll find a
Real love
I'm looking for some real love
Oh oh oh Real love
I gotta have some real love
So I try my best and pray to God
He'd send me someone real
To caress me and to guide me
Towards a love my heart can feel
Now I know I can be faithful
I can be your all and all
And give you good lovin' through the summertime
Winter, spring and fall
Real love
I'm searching for some real love
oh oh oh
Real love
I gotta have some real love
You see I'm searching for a real love
And I don't know where to go
I've been around the world and high and low
And still will never know
How it feels to have a real love
Cuz it seems there's none around
I gotta end it in this way
Because seems he can't be found
Real love

Because it seems like this kind of true love is impossible to find
