Standing in a line Wonder why it don't move Tryna get a hand Watching people break the rules And maybe the man in charge Doesn't like my face But then this world's not always good And nothing's real but love Nothing's real but love No money, no house, no car, Can beat love They watch us open-mouthed As we joke around like fools See who can be the worst Watch what I can do But then the door gets slammed, Slammed right in my face And I guess this world's not always good And nothing's real but love Nothing's real but love No house, no car, no job Can beat love It won't fill you up No money, no house, no car Is like love La la la la la la la la Yeaaah I put it all away Holding it back for a rainy day But what if that day don't come I need love No money, no house, no car Is like love It don't fill you up It won't build you up It won't fill you up It's not love! And nothing's real but love No money, no house, no car Is like love Nothing's real but love No money, no house, no car Is like love
