[Verse 1]
I'm in love with the real world
It's mutual, or so it seems
'cause only in the real world
Do things happen like they do in my dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
Some of the rules may be different
But maybe they'll stay the same

[Chorus]
In the real world, in the real world
In the real world, we both win when we play the same game

[Verse 2]
I'm in love with somebody
I wish somebody loved me too
You may wonder how this concerns you
Well, perhaps the somebody is you

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't even know what your name is
But I just hope that you'll stay

[Chorus]
In the real world, in the real world
In the real world, things happen this way
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
I'm in love with somebody
I wish somebody loved me too
You may wonder how this concerns you
Well, perhaps the somebody is you

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't even know what your name is
But I just hope that you'll stay

[Chorus]
In the real world, in the real world
In the real world, we both win when we play the same game
Hey, in the real world, in a real world
In the real world, by the way, what's your name?
