Tell 'em this boy wasn't made for lovin'

Tell 'em this heart doesn't stay to one

I'll be the same, never changed for nothin'

It's all I know, never learned much more.

Mama called me destructive, oh yeah...

Said it'd ruin me one day, yeah

Cause every woman that loved me, oh yeah...

I seemed to push them away.

That's real life,

Real life,

Mama talking that real life,

That real life, real life, real life, real life.

I know you don't really understand it

I'm not allowed to regret my choice

I heard that love is a risk worth taking

I've learned to know never been that boy.

Mama called me destructive, oh yeah...

Said it ruined me one day, yeah

Cause every woman that loved me, oh yeah...

I seemed to push them away.

That's real life,

Real life,

Mama talking that real life,

That real life, real life, real life, real life.

Heaven only lets a few in

It's too late for me to choose it

Don't waste precious tears on me, I'm not worth the misery

I'm better off when I'm alone.

That's real life,

Real life, ooh

Mama talking that real life,

That real life, real life, real life, real life

That's real life,

Real life,

Mama talking that real life,

That real life, real life, real life, real life.
