[Hook 1]
Certain, genuine, honest, positive
Right, definite, sincere
Growth, vitality, truth, humanity
That's not what's happening here
Oooh, oooh, this is real life
Oooh, oooh, this is real life

[Verse 1]
I'm sitting here waiting, wondering where you been
Don't you know you're late again?
Sitting here thinking, figuring you would call
The phone don't ring at all

I'm not a girl who is living in a fantasy world
So tell me, are we fiction or fact?
'Cause right now I gotta know (Gotta know)
I wanna know where we're at

[Hook 2]
Get a grip, baby, we're no rehearsal
It's not a game, we are not playing virtual
When are you going to wake up and realize
This is real life, this is real life?

Half-hearted will never be true love
How can almost ever be enough?
I tell you straight up, not telling you twice (You twice)
This is real life, uh, this is real life (Real life)
[Verse 2]
You're blowing hot and cold
And I don't know where you're coming from
What planet are you living on?
And I'm not the girl of a type who will forgive and forget
(Have I, have I got your full attention yet?)

I'm not a girl who is living in a big dream world
This time there's no compromise
So if you want me for good
You better open your eyes

[Hook 1]
Certain, genuine, honest, positive
Right, definite, sincere
Growth, vitality, truth, humanity
That's not what's happening here
Oooh, oooh, this is real life
Oooh, oooh, this is real life

[Hook 2]
Get a grip, baby, we're no rehearsal
It's not a game, we are not playing virtual
When are you going to wake up and realize
This is real life, this is real life?
Half-hearted will never be true love
How can almost ever be enough?
I tell you straight up, not telling you twice (You twice)
This is real life, uh, this is real life (Real life)

Get a grip, baby, we're no rehearsal
It's not a game, we are not playing virtual
When are you going to wake up and realize
This is real life, this is real life?

Half-hearted will never be true love
How can almost ever be enough?
I tell you straight up, not telling you twice (You twice)
This is real life, uh, this is real life (Real life)

Get a grip, baby, we're no rehearsal
It's not a game, we are not playing virtual
When are you going to wake up and realize
This is real life, this is real life?

[Refrain]
It's up to you, come on

[Hook 2]
Get a grip, baby, we're no rehearsal
It's not a game, we are not playing virtual
When are you going to wake up and realize
This is real life, this is real life?
Half-hearted will never be true love
How can almost ever be enough?
I tell you straight up, not telling you twice (You twice)
This is real life, uh, this is real life (Real life)

[Outro]
This is real life
