Emeli Sandé - Real Life Lyrics
If a soldier had a gun to my head
Would you fight or would you just play dead?
If we ain't got no food, ain't got no bread
Would you go and work, make sure the kids get fed?
But what about real life?
I know we got everything we've ever dreamed, alright
But what about real, real life?
If the years go by and we be getting old
Will you still see me, will you see within my soul?
Sometimes, baby, we won't agree
Are we gon' work on it, or are you walkin' out on me?
See, I know now things are real nice
But what about real life?
I know the flower's in bloom, sweet honeymoon paradise
But what about real, real life?
I'm talkin' six in the morning
Who's feeding baby?
And the landlord keeps calling
You helping pay the rent
Sickness and health
You by my side
Are you the one, baby, that's always down to ride?
If I'm in the hospital, will you bring my medicine?
Let's say I lose it all, am I still your everything?
Oh baby, I really need to know
I know now things are real nice, alright
But what about real life?
I know we got everything we've ever dreamed, paradise
Oh, but what about real, real life?
And what about real life?
Oh, real, real life
Yes, I know the flower's in bloom, sweet honeymoon paradise
But what about real life?
What about real, real life?
Yeah, what about real, real life?
Yeah, what about real, real life?
Yeah, what about real, real life?
Can I count on you?
In real life
I wanna know, hey, hmm mmm, real life

Love Emelié Sandié music. Close to Alicia Keys but with 'been through it' emotion from the gut not just entertainment.
EMELI SANDE, I love you so much, so much!! #musicformysoul♥♥♥
Welp. Got a christmas wish now.
WOW WOW. THAT Brought me to tears. I needed something like that. Touches the soul
It's like a COMBINATION of Bob Marley's song "No Woman, No Cry" and Sam Smith's song "Stay With Me" with a blend of GOSPEL!!
She's not only beautiful with an amazing voice, her music is truth! xxx
She's too underrated I swear!!!
Says who? Not in my books.

[Intro]
Hey, yeah
Mmm
[Verse 1]
If a soldier had a gun to my head
Would you fight or would you just play dead?
If we ain't got no food, ain't got no bread
Will you go and work, make sure the kids get fed?
[Chorus]
See, I know now it's real nice
But what about real life?
I know we got everything we'd ever dreamed, alright
What about a real, real life?
[Verse 2]
If the years go by and we be getting old
Will you still see me, will you see within my soul?
Sometimes, baby, we won't agree
But we gon' work on it, or you walking out on me
[Chorus]
See, I know now things are real nice
We got everything, what about real life?
I know the flower's in bloom, sweet honeymoon paradise
What about real, real life?
[Bridge]
I'm talking six in the morning, who's feeding baby now?
Landlord keeps calling, you helping pay the rent
Sickness and health, you by my side
Are you the one, baby, that's always down to ride?
If I'm in the hospital, will you bring my medicine?
Let's say I lose it all, am I still your everything?
Oh, baby, I really need to know
[Chorus]
I know now things are real nice, oh right
What about real life?
I know we got everything we'd ever dreamed, paradise
Oh, what about real, real life?
And what about real life? Oh
Real, real life
Yes, I know the flower's in bloom, sweet honeymoon paradise
But what about real life?
[Outro]
What about real, real life?
Yeah, what about real, real life?
And what about real, real life?
Yeah, what about real, real life?
Can I count on you in real, real life?
Wanna know, hey
Mmm-mmm, real life
This is real nice...I ♥️ it!
😌🎶😌🎶😌🎶😌🎶Harmony😌 meets Voice🎶
Emely you Full álbum is fantastic👏👏👏👏
Emeli Sande you never dissapoint😍😍😍😍😍
She has a superb voice but these songs are so bloody boring. I'm crying inside smh. :(
@Sasha James Sande is a well respected and very talented artist. Please refrain from referring to her in any state of undress. I and some others happen to think this isn't her best work. If you believe we feel that way because she chooses to dress in a classy and modest manner, well that's your issue and we can't help you with that. 🤷🏾♀️
NOT as BORING as you I bet!
@Charlie Carter Interesting, I wasn't too into the secound album until I listened to it again recently. I still prefer this one though. Do you dislike the lyrics or the music?
@Strawberry cheesecake I've actually thought about this because I am a fan, and she's such a talent. I realised I don't believe her. There's a disconnect between the lyrics and something in her voice. When she sings Clown, Read All About It and Heaven, I'm right there with her. It's super subjective because I much prefer the production and music on those tracks too. Her life has changed so much, I wonder could it be that causing the disconnect for me? Or is it an unconscious bias, when I hear gospel sounds I expect a certain type of vocal, I may find Emz tone too light for that gospel sound? Though I'm disappointed with this output I'm very clear it is still far better than most. I said Heaven, so now I have to go listen to Heaven, because Oh My God! :)
@Charlie Carter Both those things sound plausible. Maybe you're just at a different place in life than this song. Like, I cannot relate to Clown at the moment at all. But this fits my current situation quite well. Many of my friends have gotten a little starry eyed recently.
The Gospel thing is a good point too. I don't know much about gospel, so I don't get a dissonance, but if you associate different things with something it can really be jarring.
Who knows, maybe the next songs will be more up your ally.
