Tell 'em this boy wasn't meant for lovin'

Tell 'em this heart doesn't stay to one

I'll be the same, never changed for nothin'It's all I know, never learned much more



Mama called me destructive, oh yeah

Said it'd ruin me one day, yeah

'Cause every woman that loved me, oh yeah

I seemed to push them away



That's real life, oh oh oh

Real life, ooh

Mama talking that real life, oh oh oh

That real life, real life, real life, real life



I know you don't really understand it

I'm not allowed to regret my choice

I heard that love is a risk worth taking

I wouldn't know, never been that boy



Mama called me destructive, oh yeah

Said it'd ruin me one day, yeah

'Cause every woman that loved me, oh yeah

I seemed to push them away



That's real life, oh oh oh

Real life, ooh

Mama talking that real life, oh oh oh

That real life, real life, real life, real life



Heaven only lets a few in

(Heaven only lets a few in)

It's too late for me to choose it

(It's too late for me to choose it)

Don't waste precious tears on me

I'm not worth the misery

I'm better off when I'm alone



That's real life, oh oh oh

Real life, ooh

Mama talking that real life, oh oh oh

That real life, real life, real life, real life



That's real life, oh oh oh

Real life, ooh

Mama talking that real life, oh oh oh

Yeah, yeah, real life, real life, real life, real life
