[Intro: Blacksmith]
Mary J. Blige
Mary J. Blige, checka one two
Mary J. Blige, checka one two
Mary J. Blige, checka one two

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
Real love
I'm searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searching for a real love

[Verse 1: Mary J. Blige]
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 searching for someone
To satisfy my every need
Won't you be my inspiration
Be the real love that I need

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
Real love
I'm searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searching for a real love
[Verse 2: Mary J. Blige]
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 inspiration
Lead me towards a real love

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
Real love
I'm searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searching for a real love

[Bridge: Mary J. Blige]
I've got to have a real love
Love so true and oh baby
I thought that love was you
I thought you were the answer
To the question in my mind
But it seems that I was wrong
If I stay strong maybe I'll find a real love
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Mary J. Blige]
So I try my best and pray to God
He'd 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 and all
And give you good lovin' through the summertime
Winter, spring and fall

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
Real love
I'm searching for a real love
(For a real love, real love, real love)
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
I'm searching for a real love

[Bridge over Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
You see I'm searching for a real love
And I don't know where to go
I've been around the world and high and low
And still I'll never know
How it feels to have a real love
'Cause it seems there's none around
I gotta end it in this way
Because seems he can't be found
[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
Real love
I'm searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love
