I don't buy the lines in magazines that tell me what I ought to be
Don't base my life on a movie screen. I don't fit the mold society has planned
Don't need to be nineteen years old or starve myself for some weight I'm told
Will turn men's heads down that road and I thank God I finally know just who I am
I ain't a movie star. They never see the view from where they are
And this old town may be as far as I'm going
What he'll hold tonight in his hands he swears is so much better than
Anything that this old world can show him
CHORUS
I'm a real (real) live (live) woman
In love with this man I see lying here next to me
Lost in the way that's he's holding
This real (real) live (live) woman
In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep knowing
There's nothing on earth he loves more than
This real (real) live (live) woman
I work nine to five and can't relate to millionaires who somehow fate
Has smiled upon and fortune made their common lives a better place to be
I no longer justify the reasons for the way that I behave
I offer no apologizes for the things that I believe and say
And I like it that way
REPEAT CHORUS
