Well I was 18 makin' minimum wage

With a Letterman jacket and a Chevrolet

I thought I was cool

Yeah I ruled the school

You were Cum Laude with the strawberry lips

You had the whole world danglin' at ur fingertips

Your senior year

An' I was ur daddy's worst fear

We ran off on graduation night

Thought a couple of left-hand rings

Would make everything all right

With a little bit a-live little bit a-learn

Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn

And findin' out what life was

Ooh with a little bit a-fuss little bit a-fight

Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night

An' one day wakin' up oh in a real love

Yes that's right

Well I was 22 workin' double overtime

I was spendin' dollars an' makin' dimes

We were overdrawn an' barely hangin' on

An' then one night you came to me

With tears in your eyes and a EPT and said:

"Guess what Yeah baby ready or not "

Well I just smiled but I was scared to death:

How am I gonna' have a kid

When I'm still a kid myself

With a little bit a-live little bit a-learn

Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn

And findin' out what life was

Ooh with a little bit a-fuss little bit a-fight

Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night

An' one day wakin' up oh in a real love

Whoa in a real love

Yeah it's a real love

Mmmm with a little bit a-live little bit a-learn

Little bit a-watchin' a few more candles burn

And findin' out what life was

Mmm with a little bit a-fuss little bit a-fight

Little bit a-kiss and makin' up all night

An' one day wakin' up oh in a real love

Yeah baby it's a real love

Yeah it's a real love baby

Whoa it's a real love

Yeah that's right

Hey
