[Verse 1]
I don’t mind
Letting you down easy but just give it time
If it don’t hurt now just wait, just wait a while
You’re not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they're feeding on

[Bridge]
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you

[Chorus]
Ain’t it fun
Living in the real world
Ain’t it good
Being all alone

[Verse 2]
Where you're from
You might be the one who’s running things
Well you could ring anybody's bell and get want you want
You see it’s easy to ignore trouble
When you’re living in a bubble

[Bridge]
So what are you gonna do
When the world don’t orbit around you
So what are you gonna do
When nobody wants to fool with you

[Chorus]
Ain’t it fun
Living in the real world
Ain’t it good
Being all alone

[Bridge]
Ain’t it good to be on your own
Ain’t it fun, you can't count on no one
Ain’t it good to be on your own
Ain’t it fun, you can't count on no one
Ain’t it fun
Living in the real world
Don’t go crying to your mama
‘Cause you’re on your own in the real world
Don’t go crying to your mama
‘Cause you’re on your own in the real world
Don’t go crying to your mama
‘Cause you’re on your own in the real world
Don’t go crying to your mama
‘Cause you’re on your own in the real world
Ain’t it fun, ain’t it fun
Baby now you’re one of us
Ain’t it fun, ain’t it fun, ain’t it fun

[Chorus]
Ain’t it fun
Living in the real world
Ain’t it good
Ain’t it good, being all alone

[Outro]
Don’t go crying to your mama (To your mother)
‘Cause you’re on your own in the real world (Don’t go crying)
Don’t go crying to your mama (To your mama)
‘Cause you’re on your own in the real world
Don’t go crying to your mama
‘Cause you’re on your own in the real world (This is the real world)
Don’t go crying to your mama
‘Cause you’re on your own in the real world

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
