[Verse 1]
They're putting up the chairs to close, she let me settle up my tab
I told her button up, it's cold, I ain't too drunk to hail us a cab
We can get a cup of coffee but unless you gotta get back home
Sitting across that table, a gypsy couldn't read her mind
I took her hand and told her I just wanna crawl into her eyes
She shook her head and said, “It's cruel”; cruel is just a cheap disguise
[Chorus]
Have you ever known a real love
The kind of love that makes you feel love
No, this ain't let's make a deal, love
Make an angel give his wings up
It makes you guilty cause you want more
If it's a kiss that you would die for
Feels like you're falling through the stars
If it could break your heart
It's real love
[Verse 2]
We drank that muddy pot of coffee, it was morning when I walked her home
I've never been this lonely, lying in this bed alone
Her words still ringing in my head, her sad eyes sunk me like a stone
[Chorus]
Have you ever known a real love?
The kind of love that makes you feel, love?
No, this ain't let's make a deal, love
Make an angel give his wings up
It makes you guilty 'cause you want more
If it's a kiss that you would die for
Feels like you're falling through the stars
If it can break your heart
It's real love
[Bridge]
I put on that same shirt, and I ran out the door
Stole a fistful of roses from the sidewalk store
With just my heart in my hand, I had nothing to prove
Standing up on her front steps calling to her window
[Chorus]
Have you ever known a real love?
The kind of love that makes you feel, love?
No, this ain't let's make a deal, love
Make an angel give his wings up
It makes you guilty 'cause you want more
If it's a kiss that you will die for
Feels like you're falling through the stars
If it can break your heart
It's real love
[Outro]
Feels like you're falling through the stars
If it can break your heart
It's real love
They're putting up the chairs to close, she let me settle up my tab
I told her button up, it's cold, I ain't too drunk to hail us a cab
We can get a cup of coffee but unless you gotta get back home
Sitting across that table, a gypsy couldn't read her mind
I took her hand and told her I just wanna crawl into her eyes
She shook her head and said, “It's cruel”; cruel is just a cheap disguise
[Chorus]
Have you ever known a real love
The kind of love that makes you feel love
No, this ain't let's make a deal, love
Make an angel give his wings up
It makes you guilty cause you want more
If it's a kiss that you would die for
Feels like you're falling through the stars
If it could break your heart
It's real love
[Verse 2]
We drank that muddy pot of coffee, it was morning when I walked her home
I've never been this lonely, lying in this bed alone
Her words still ringing in my head, her sad eyes sunk me like a stone

Have you ever known a real love?
The kind of love that makes you feel, love?
No, this ain't let's make a deal, love
Make an angel give his wings up

If it's a kiss that you would die for
Feels like you're falling through the stars
If it can break your heart

[Outro]
Feels like you're falling through the stars
If it can break your heart
It's real love
