You see, Im searching for a real love and I don’t know where to go
I been around the world and high and low and still I never know
How it feels to have a real love cause it seems theres none around
I gotta end it in this way because it seems he can’t be—
We are lovers through and through
And though we made it through the storm
I really want you to realize, I really want to put you on
Ive been searching for someone to satisfy my every need
Wont you be my inspiration?

Real love
Im searching for a real love 
Someone to set my heart free 
Real love 
Im searching for a real love
Ooh, when I met you
I just knew that you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you loved for me, you said Im not the one
So I slowly came to see all of the things that you were made of
And now I hope my dreams and inspiration lead me towards a real love

Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, its a plane
Nope, it’s Mary J., aint a damn thing changed
Kickin ill flava with the Teflon Don
Wreckin shop, gettin’ props, she got it goin on
So whats it gonna be? The real one, the fake one?
Ya need a minute to think? Well, hoes, ya better take one
Welp, my time is up, peace out to Brooklyn
Puff and Daddy-O, ayo, bring the verse in
So Ive tried my best and prayed to God hell send me someone real
To caress me and to guide me towards a love my heart can feel
Now I know I can be faithful, I can be your all and all
Ill give you good lovin through the summertime, winter, spring and fall
Real love
Im searching for a real love 
Someone to set my heart free
Real, real love
Im searching for a real love
