Real Love
Mary J.Blige (Www.Safalbum.Biz) 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 searchin' for someone
To satisfy my every need
Won't you be my inspiration?
Be the real love that I need

Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love

Ooh, 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 inspirations
Lead me towards some real

Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
I got to have a real love

Love's so true and, oh, baby
I thought your love was true
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 my real love

So I try my best and pray to God
He'll 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 in all
I'll give you good lovin' through the summertime
Winter, spring, and fall

Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love (real love, real love, real love)
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love

Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love

You see I'm searching for a real love (real love I'm searchin' for a real love)
And I don't know where to go
Been around the world and high and low
And still I'll never know (someone to set my heart free)
How it feels to have a real love (real love)
'Cause it seems there's none around (I'm searchin' for a real love)
Gotta end it in this way because it
Seems he can't be found

Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love

Real love
I'm searchin' for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love




I'm searchin' for a real love
Real love
