John Lennon - Real Love Lyrics






All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dream
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems that all I really was doing
Was waiting for love

Don't need to be afraid
No need to be afraid

It's real love
It's real, yes it's real love
It's real

Thought I'd been in love before,
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

It's real love
Yes it's real, yes it's real love
It's real, yes it's real love...

  1. L.... S....

  2. M.... J....

    Elif, I now know that my whole life I was just killing time, waiting for the day you finally came. Can't you tell? John knows exactly how we feel. This is real love, so real.


    I love you my angel. <3

  3. L.... A....

    Now dont we all wonder how Take 1, 2 and 3 sounded like? John is missed terribly. RIP. Return if possible.

  4. s.... j....

    Where did you find this? THIS IS SO GOOD!

  5. b.... s....

    I don’t play the piano but people are saying the piano isn’t tuned and I was just curious how do you tune pianos? I didn’t even know you had to tune them I only know how to tune guitars lol

    b.... s....

    Idk exactly how it's done but I've heard it's a much more complicated process and you have to pretty much have a professional do it.

  6. D.... T....

    I came here after I heard the song mentioned in “all girls are the same”

  7. G.... o....

    This makes me sad. I wish he was still alive today. Why do good people have to die in such short circumstances.

  8. M.... V....

    On what album did he record it?

  9. D.... ....

    I will leave here when I die and never return to this abusive criminal banker run shit hole in any form.

  10. c.... b....

  18. r.... c....

    Es una obra de arte, clásica, eterna, para siempre

  19. M.... H....

    I have a feeling he was just reaching the height of his powers. This song is pure genius.

    M.... H....

    He was taken about 50 years too soon......what a genius, a beautiful Soul, too....people gave him such shit , and still do say bad things about him simply cause he was SO in love with YOKO....What a shallow world we live in still......when people make those kinds of racist, horrible judgments.......

  20. A.... M....

    I LOVE "YOU" JOHN `❤💚💜💛💙😇💎🙃🌟

  21. D.... W....

    He was like effing Beethoven. He wrote this song for the Beatles....... Now we know that’s how it worked out but I honestly think that’s how it was thought out and Born.IMAGINE...

  22. D.... F....

    inmensamente lindo...Lennon eterno

  23. L.... R....

    What a talent! Such a miserable reality to be killed by a nutcase when he finally felt he was truly alive.

  24. P.... M....

    ''Okay start again, silly boy, Take 4''.

  25. q.... ....

    We still love you, john

  26. J.... ....

    Oh yeah

  27. M.... N....

    Save us john...

  28. L.... M....

    Linda música!

  29. d.... ....

    Dude, thanks.

  30. A.... P....

    The version of 90's of Beatles with Jeff Lynch, and especially the guitar solo of George made the song sound like Wow

    A.... P....

    Jeff Lynne

  31. R.... M....

    Beautiful in so many simple ways.

  32. M.... P....

    Es tan linda esta cancion.Yo aunque e tenido tantas decepciones, nunca culpe al amor. Siempre tuve fe que si existe el amor real.El amor es lo que te ayuda a vivir con alegria en medio de la adversidad.No podemos culpar al amor, son las actitudes que nosotros asumimos ante el.💥🕊

  33. F.... T....

    He was a master at piano, different from the strings...

    F.... T....

    He also plays guitar slightly more difficult judging by rhythm strumming and chord shapes since he plays a banjo.

  34. V.... H....

    😍😍😍

  35. C.... ....

    “All my little plans and schemes, gone like some forgotten dream...” if only he knew how that would be so true for him in the end.

  36. C.... ....

    This was one of the first songs I dedicated myself to learning on my aunt’s piano after my mother’s divorce... thank you for everything you have given me and all you have taught me Mr. Lennon.
    There’s no need to be alone.
    -cheers from Texas.🇺🇸✌🏽

  37. M.... F....

    I wonder what he would've thought of what they did with it and Free as a Bird to make them Beatle songs...

    M.... F....

    I think Jeff Lynne did a great job. Like to think John would have agreed.

  38. 4.... 2....

    What a poem

  39. T.... ....

    Not bad. This kid has a future as a songwriter.

    T.... ....

    Teshko vas..

    T.... ....

    He was 37 then. Yeah, a kid.

    T.... ....

    Ricardo Allan he was being ironic lmao

  40. t.... ....

    We love u Lennon

  41. B.... ....

    What a picture

  42. E.... 1....

    Pedí perdón de mi agenda me ocupo...

  43. D.... P....

    Someone tune that bloody piano.

  44. E.... W....

    So sad... That some CRAZY took this wonderful and talented man from us way too soon...😔 Rest In Peace John Lennon

  45. A.... B....

    He lost his way, listening to underground "sounds" but he was one of my heroes in those days, but with Ono he became a nutcrack!

  46. A.... V....

    The best artist of ever

  47. A.... V....

    Is this the paradise? Thanks .

  48. A.... ....

    violent parents devorce since '69, then got this song on Vinyl and Lenco pickup to cry my heart out. Done crying, I am still so thankfull for your memory lane, ta, ex Hyde Park sleeper '69 from Holland, now Tuscany, the healing Country! alex

  49. F.... T....

    Great song. John is feeling it here. Guess they didn't have piano tuners back then. 😁

    F.... T....

    You're right. For me, the slightly out of tune piano gives it a nice nostalgic feel. I can't describe it. Just like out of tune versions of Chopin give me the creeps and add to the intensity. Doesn't work with every piece of course...😂

  50. O.... M....

    Eu adoro essa canção, John era muito bom no que fazia.

  51. M.... T....

    Yep ... wife beating piece of shit ... that's love fucking fraud!!! ... typical hippie!!! Those fucks were al frauds

  52. A.... L....

    This version makes me cry :'c

    A.... L....

    You're not the only one 🤣 My tears are flowing as I listen to and feel this beautiful song ♥️ The world still doesn't know what we lost back in 1980!!! The man had so much more to give! The cunt who killed him is still living, I would pay a lot of money to spend 5 minutes with the cunt to give him some Scouse justice . I would sing Imagine as I beat the fuck out of him 😡😡 I,m angry now, time for a spliff 🤠🤠🤠

  53. b.... s....

    Its almost like sadness is poring out of him. Truly I think he wanted to be out of that apartment. Theres an older movie made in the 80s called the 2 of us. It really made you think about how he felt being away from Paul and the rest. Im not going to put down yoko but it does shed some light about how she was...Check it out

  54. T.... a....

    What an amazing artist....!!!!

  55. J.... H....

    He loved Yoko so much!

    J.... H....

    Jonathan Hudgins too bad she was a bitch

  56. A.... l....

    All the little girls and boys
    Playing with their little toys
    All they really needed from you
    Was, maybe, some love
    All the little boys and girls
    Living in this crazy world
    All they really needed from you
    Was, maybe, some love
    Why must we be alone?
    Why must we be alone?
    It's real life
    Yes, it's real
    I don't expect you to understand
    The kingdom of Heaven is in your hands
    I don't expect you to wake from the dream
    Too late for crying, now, that it seems
    All their little plans and schemes
    Ain't nothing but a bunch of dreams
    All you really needed to do
    Was, maybe, some love.

    A.... l....

    God's love to you brother, I know thy suffering. One awakens when the suffering ends. I wish awakening to One and All.

  57. H.... ....

    Imagine how good the next John album would have been with this and free as a bird

    H.... ....

    John was a lovely pianist too

    H.... ....

    and "Now and Then"

    H.... ....

    Lennon had his next three albums already planned when he was killed from what I read. He had a whole bag of songs he'd been filling up prior to going back to the studio. Very well could have been included, we'll never know, but considering the numerous takes and iterations he made of this in his last years you'd think it would have been used. All I know is the Threatles butchered it

    H.... ....

    HOLY CRAP ....I can hardly take thinking about it......WOW ....quite an amazing thing.....it would have been.....

    H.... ....

    @subg88 How did they butcher it

  58. D.... S....

    We all wish we had the songwriting talent of John...absolutely beautiful. Such a shame he was never able to see this song finished 🙏❤

  59. B.... O....

    Happy birthday to this amazing singer.

  60. E.... W....

    Lennon would be 79 today. A legend taken to soon. Happy birthday John and Sean Lennon

    E.... W....

    So get in there deeeee lads

  61. J.... L....

    That's Really Beautiful.
    Miss John Lennon. May
    He Rest in Peace. God
    Bless.

  62. l.... ....

    This version proves that less is more.

    l.... ....

    Absolutely spot on!! I was just listening to this and said to my wife that this song never got past the demo stage. Which is tragic, but also beautiful. Like the whistle at the end of sittin on a dock of a bay. It's in completion as it's most beautiful. If you don't know what I'm on about, google it. Tragic for both songwriters, but still just lovely.

    l.... ....

    Tell that to Phill spector LOL!

  63. M.... K....

    Beautiful ❤️

  64. W.... M....

    This is a treasure

  65. E.... T....

    When was this recorded

  66. A.... D....

    Really don't know why this is so moving but it really is. Today John is my favourite Beatle. It'll probably be back to Paul next week. George and Ringo have turns too :)

    A.... D....

    Adrian Davies haha same

    A.... D....

    Sounds perfect to me!! ❤❤❤❤

    A.... D....

    Correct.

  67. C.... ....

    This is why John is my favorite. I could just listen to him playing piano and singing all day.

  68. J.... L....

    This is good, take 5 and 6 are perfect, 99% finished, and the Beatles version is great too, but buries the piano too much...

  69. K.... A....

    Somehow u just know!!!❤😤😍...

  70. K.... A....

    Was waiting 4 u.!!!❤💙💜💛😍

  71. F.... R....

    my acoustic version: https://youtu.be/6B6WSXvMiWk

  74. r.... 3....

    John was a great pianist

  75. D.... C....

    This song is too strong for me, I can't listen to it without feeling so fucking devastated or shedding a tear. Lennon is so fucking missed.

  76. M.... M....

    I can’t listen to this song without crying. A legend taken too soon

    M.... M....

    me too...

    M.... M....

    With you.

    M.... M....

    @Astro Gremlin PID conspiracy just Stfu dude leave the comments to real fans and not to fool dumb

    M.... M....

    Mercury McCartney that is the most cancerous band wagon jumping trend following name ever

  77. P.... G....

    This is pure magnificence
    Thank you so much,John...
    We miss you

  78. I.... P....

    original is superb.....

  79. �.... ....

    Everybody here are experts in songwriting lol Lennon was genius with enormous soul. Stop trying to analyze what can't be explained just like flower can't be explained. "It" is just there. Feel it, be overwhelmed, live it.

    "The intro to this piece is Pseudo-classical" fuck I'm dying

    "This is such a great look into his songwriting skills" oh please...

  80. E.... R....

    Thanks John

  81. T.... B....

    John es lo más grande que le pudo pasar a la música

  82. a.... Z....

    Da best

  83. P.... 4....

    Johns last song writing 4 the beatles...

  84. U.... S....

    Wow. The way he plays this.. This is such a great look into his songwriting skills. Reminds me a bit of Charlie Rich too

  85. C.... P....

    The intro to this piece is Pseudo-classical, giving the piece a timeless feel. The piano chords then just provide rythm so you can focus on what he says. This changes when he says "seems like all I really was doing" which is followed by an ascending progression which acts as a build up after which he switches to a gospel motif. GOSPEL! The effect this gives is to imbue his next line with a sense of divine revelation when he says that his whole life, all he'd been doing, was waiting for her, waiting for love. It's a really inspired songwriting trick that makes this song really something special. I write songs yet I've never seen anything like it.

    C.... P....

    Es un muy buen pianista y le da un toque clásico a su tema. Es realmente un gran músico y compositor....

    C.... P....

    Compte Prive my man thinks about music like I do 👍🏻

    C.... P....

    @Brendan Ryan never heard anyone say that

    C.... P....

    a FUCKIN GENIUS SONG WRITER HE WAS........

    C.... P....

    Best comment on youtube. Thanks for the insight

  86. F.... ....

    I love his accompaniment. Very professional and developed. He clearly spent a lot of time composing it. So called "artists" today scribble lyric ideas in a notepad and call them songs.

    F.... ....

    john would disagree. always are great artists out there working hard. just have to look harder for them.

  87. B.... ....

    Padre,esposo,amigo,hijo,sobrino,cantante,autor.
    Q.U.E.P.D.John Lennon 1940-1980

    B.... ....

    @Luis Perez el papá de lennon?

    B.... ....

    @Gabriel Ramirez los dos

    B.... ....

    @Luis Perez lennon mal padre? Hablas del lennon que se retiro unos años para dedicarse a su familia, que si que tuvo errores,pero todos los tienen o ¿Acaso tu eres perfecto?.

    B.... ....

    @Gabriel Ramirez pregúntale a Julian y a los madrazos que le ponía a Cinthya

    B.... ....

    @Luis Perez y que no te dije que se equivocaba ?

  88. B.... B....

    Far out, this is brilliant, thank you.

  89. L.... M....

    My favorite version

    L.... M....

    same here :)

    L.... M....

    @Little Fox same here too

    L.... M....

    Same.
    I love the Beatles' version, and the Regina Spektor's version, but this one is simple, yet perfect.

  90. A.... M....

    it's is really it love 💑👫💙💜💛💚💟💖

  91. C.... H....

    Maravilhosa música. Única, tocante, para sempre verdadeiro amor

  92. T.... ....

    So much better than the version the Beatles put out. So beautiful.

    T.... ....

    @Compte Prive That was Jeff Lynne turning it into a Jeff Lynne song. The Beatles released it though, so they must have approved.

    T.... ....

    @Nick Firth Yeah, Paul, George and RIngo all 'approved' songs that have bene complete garbage, even as Beatles. Unfortunately they did it again when they remade/released this song. Nobody's perfect.

    T.... ....

    @Nick Firth I thought the same thing. Sounded more Jeff Lynne than Beatles. Glad the Threetles got to work on it, but I'll always love this version best. I do love Free As A Bird though.

    T.... ....

    @RickGibbonsOfficial Same here. I love pretty much ANYTHING that has The Beatles' seal of approval.

    T.... ....

    The Beatles version is the best one honestly

  93. R.... S....

    Es el take 4. Mi version favorita de la que siento es la mejor canción de los beatles. Genial que lo hayss subido porque bajaron el take 4 para subir el 1 el 2 el 3 y el 5. Gracias

  94. R.... ....

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! 💙💙💙

  95. m.... ....

    That's stunning version! Very very good.

    m.... ....

    mmhm. :)

    m.... ....

    U mean original

    m.... ....

    mipreloan That’s why I learned this version on piano

    m.... ....

    @neon mall it's not the original- the original is on guitar and was recorded earlier

    m.... ....

    Rhe melody sounds like the song Then and now by Paulmsongs teibute to John after his sudden death during his concert in the 80s

  96. E.... L....

    ES MEJOR ESTA KE LA DE LOS BEATLES EN LA ANTOLOGIA NADA KOMO ESTA

  97. A.... H....

    adoro la versione con il Piano.. real
