Boy and girl fall in love, startin' out just enough
Pocket change, lean an' green, first and last security
Newlyweds, overheads, all we really had was each otherAll of the family and most of our friends
Said it was over before it began
As time goes on, we're provin' 'em wrong
We're still togetherReal love will survive
Devil of defeat, better step aside
Real love will survive
If you need a witness, me and my little missus
We can testifyMade a move, neighborhood lookin' up, lookin' good
Saving money everyday, gettin' out of layaway
Baby boys, lots of toys, man, I gotta say this is livin'No, I'm not sayin' it's been perfect at all
We've had our times, we hit the wall
We backed it on up, yeah, we knocked off the dust
And kept on diggin'Real love will survive
Devil of defeat, better step aside
Real love will survive
If you need a witness, me and my little missus
We can testifyReal love will survive
Devil of defeat, better step aside
Real love will survive
If you need a witness, me and my little missus
Yes, see if you need a witness, me and my little missus
We can testify
