Real Love
Ritchie Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I'm really concerned
I'm tired of hiding my feelings
Afraid of getting burned
Make me forget the past
And guys that have called the phone
You're here to let me know
Will the real love please stand up?
Oh, I wanna know right now
Will the real love please stand up?
Get on up, get on up for love
Will the real love please stand up?
Get on up, get on up for love
Will the real love please stand up?
Oh, I can feel you, baby
Feel the pleasure and the pain
Once your heart's been broken
Though it will never be the same
Baby, you're here to let me know
When love is real, it's alright
You can't keep me for yourself, baby
And give me love all night
These words were spoken
From the bottom of my heart
But once I give my love to you
Don't you know that's a start
Will the real love please stand up?
Talking about the real love
Will the real love please stand up?
Get on up, get on up for love
Will the real love please stand up?
Will the real love please stand up?
Make me feel alright
Baby, will the real love stand on up?
Will the real love
Your love
Oh baby, get on up, yeah-eah
Will the real love please stand up?
Oh, I wanna know
Will the real love please stand up?
Ohh, somebody tell me
Will the real love please stand up?
Oh, I wanna know, hey-ey...
Will the real love (yeah) please stand up?
I'm talking about the real love
Will the real love please stand up?
I wanna know, ha, hahhh
Will the real love please stand up?
Get on up, get on up for love
Will the real love please stand up?
Get on up, get on up for love
Will the real love please stand up?
Ooooooooooh, yeah-eah, yeah, yeah
Will the real love please stand up?
Somebody tell me, tell me, tell me...
