(Verse 1)

Golden girl, perfect smile,

top of the class, first in line.

Every word, every glance,

feels like more than circumstance.

(pre-Chorus)

Oh, praise me now, pull me close,

tell me things I shouldn’t know.

Is it wrong? Is it right?

Or just a lesson in disguise?

(Refrain)

Call it real love, real love,

tell me I’m the only one.

Real love, real love,

whisper it until I’m numb –

real love.

(Verse 2)

Stay behind, lock the door,

is this what they call rapport?

Lines are blurred, rules are bent,

tell me this is innocent.

(pre-Chorus)

Oh, praise me now, pull me close,

tell me things I shouldn’t know.

Is it wrong? Is it right?

Or just a lesson in disguise?

(Refrain)

Call it real love, real love,

tell me I’m the only one.

Real love, real love,

whisper it until I’m numb –

real love.

(Verse 3)

Fingers trace ink on my skin,

corrections made with more than pen.

A+ marks, secret stares,

but no one acts like they’re aware.

(Bridge)

If I walk away, will I still be your star?

Will I still be enough, or just another scar?

Tell me now, tell me then –

was I ever more than them?

(pre-Chorus)

Oh, praise me now, pull me close,

tell me things I shouldn’t know.

Is it wrong? Is it right?

Or just a lesson in disguise?

(Refrain)

Call it real love, real love,

tell me I’m the only one.

Real love, real love,

whisper it until I’m numb –

real love.

(Outro)

Was it real love? Real love?

Or just a lie I learned to trust?

(pre-Chorus)

Oh, praise me now, pull me close,

tell me things I shouldn’t know.

Is it wrong? Is it right?

Or just a lesson in disguise?

(Refrain)

Call it real love, real love,

tell me I’m the only one.

Real love, real love,

whisper it until I’m numb –

real love.
