[Verse 1:]
Tell 'em this boy wasn't mean't for lovin',
Tell 'em this heart doesn't stay to one,
I'll be the same, never changed for nothing,
It's all I know, never learned much more.
[Chorus:]
Mama called me destructive, oh yeah!
Said it'd ruin me one day, yeah!
‘Cause every woman that loved me, oh yeah,
I seemed to push them away.
That's real life, oh oh oh!
Real life, ooh!
Mama talkin' that real life, oh oh oh,
That real life, real life, real life, real life.
[Verse 2:]
I know you don't really understand it,
I'm not allowed to regret my choice,
I heard that love is a risk worth taking,
I wouldn't know, never been that boy.
[Chorus:]
Mama called me destructive, oh yeah!
Said it'd ruin me one day, yeah!
‘Cause every woman that loved me, oh yeah,
I seemed to push them away.
That's real life, oh oh oh!
Real life, ooh!
Mama talkin' that real life, oh oh oh,
That real life, real life, real life, real life.
[Bridge:]
Heaven only lets a few in,
It's too late for me to choose it.
Don't waste precious tears on me, I'm not worth the misery,
I'm better off when I'm alone.
[Chorus:]
That's real life, oh oh oh!
Real life, ooh!
Mama talkin' that real life, oh oh oh,
That real life, real life, real life, real life.
That's real life, oh oh oh!
Real life, ooh!
Mama talkin' that real life, oh oh oh,
That real life, real life, real life, real life.
