(Oh oh) oh oh
One man says, "Look to heaven for true love"
One child so blind with the stars in her eyes
So why do you think that could be right
She tries but there ain't no way to buy second sight
(Oh all those Eastern ways on Western nites)
You know how I know the way
(I want to be the heart)
I wanna be the heart
(of your desire)
It'll feel so right saying

Oh, oh
ReaLove is a passion play (ReaLove, yea)
ReaLove is a passion play (oh, oh)

You mean to make him take it your way
I know his mind is in the shadows
He'll take you all the way thru midnite
(So sad) so sad babe, you can't run but you can't fight no no
(Oh all those Eastern ways) Eastern ways
(on Western nites)
I know how and I know the way
(I want to be the heart of your desire)
And it feels so right saying

Oh, oh
ReaLove is a passion play (ReaLove, yea)
Ooh ReaLove is a passion play (oh, oh)
Ooh, ReaLove (is better than forever)
ReaLove (it pulls us altogether baby)
Altogether baby
It's a passion play

Ah, feel the ReaLove baby
Oh, talk to me now
Do you feel that love baby
Ooh baby, crazy now
You gotta keep it all night
Ooh, it's real ReaLove
Anytime is the right time
For real, real, ReaLove
You drive me crazy
I know it's real ReaLove
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme the sun
ReaLove (ReaLove) ReaLove (ReaLove) ReaLove (ReaLove) ReaLove (ReaLove
ReaLove, ReaLove, ReaLove)
ReaLove will make you cry
(ReaLove)

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
