I don't buy the lines in magazines That tell me what I've gotta be I don't base my life on a movie screen I don't fit the mold society has planned I don't need to be 19 years old Or starve myself for some weight I'm told Or turn men's heads down that road And I thank God I finally know just who I am I ain't a movie star may never see the view from where they are And this old town may be as far as I'm goin' And what he'll hold tonight in his hands He swears there's so much better than Anything that this old world can show him I'm a real live woman In love with this man I see lyin' here next to me Lost in the way that he's holdin' This real live woman In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep Knowin' there's nothin' on earth he loves more than This real live woman I work 9-5 and I can't relate To millionaires who somehow fate Has smiled upon and fortune made their Common lives a better place to be And I no longer justify Reasons for the way that I behave I offer no apologies For the things that I believe and say And I like it that way 'Cause I'm a real live woman In love with this man I see lyin' here next to me Lost in the way that he's holdin' This real live woman In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep Knowin' there's nothin' on earth he loves more than This real live woman
