Love In The Real World

There's a picture of a happy couple In a frame on a mantle in a house Piece by piece they put their world together Some kids a mortage and a pair of wedding vows She's a mother and a working woman He sweats 9 to 5 with big dreams in his head There's too much month at the end of the money Wolf's at the door and the bankbook's in the red I guess every fairy tale has a monster underneath the bed Whatever happened to the Prince and Cinderella That wide-eyed boy and girl What happens after happy- ever-after Love in the real world She leaves him notes on the refrigerator He phones in messages to say he's working late So hard to find a tender moment together So many modern ways to miscommunicate Guess every honey moon has and experation date Whatever happened to the Prince and Cinderella That wide-eyed boy and girl What happens after happy- ever-after Love in the real world That old photograph May be faded and worn But when illusions die True love will cary on What ever happened to the Prince and Cinderella That wide-eyed boy and girl They're graduatin' from happy-ever-after To love in the real world What happens after happy-ever-after Love in the real world There's a picture of a happy couple In a frame on a mantle in a house
