GC
I don't buy the lines in magazines
That tell me what I've gotta be

Don't base my life on a movie screen
DGAm7
I don't fit the mould society has planned

Don't need to be nineteen years old
Or starve myself for some weight I'm told
Am7
Will turn men's heads down that road
DGC
And I thank god I finally know just who I am

I ain't a movie star

They never see the view from where they are

And this old town may be as far as I'm going

What he'll hold tonight in his hands

Anything that this old world can show him
Chorus:
GDC
I'm a real (real) live (live) woman
GEm
In love with this man I see lying here next to me
DC
Lost in the way that's he's holding me
GDC
This real (real) live (live) woman

In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep knowing there's

Nothing on earth he loves more than

To millionaires who somehow fate

Reasons for the way that I behave

For the things that I believe and say

'Cause I'm a real (real) live (live) woman

In love with this man I see lying here next to me

This real (real) live (live) woman

In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep knowing there's
DC
Nothing on earth he loves more than
