here in the real world



Cowboys don't cry, and heroes don't die

Good always wins, again and again

Love is a sweet dream that always comes true

Oh, if life were like the movies, i'd never be blue



Chorus

But here in the real world

It's not that easy at all

'cause when hearts get broken

It's real tears that fall

And darlin' it's sad but true

But the one thing i've learned from you

Is how the boy don't always get the girl

Here in the real world



I gave you my love, but that wasn't enough

To hold your heart when times got rough

And tonight on that silver screen

It'll end like it should

Two lovers will make it through

Like i hoped we would

Repeat



Repeat chorus



No, the boy don't always get the girl

Here in the real world
