Standing in a line

Wondering why it don ' t move

Trying to get ahead

Watching people break the rules

Maybe the man in charge doesn ' t like my face

But then this world ' s not always good

And nothing ' s real but love

Nothing ' s real but love

No money no house no car

Can beat love

They watch us open-mouthed

As we joke around like fools

See who can be the worst

Watch what I can do

But then the door gets slammed

Slammed right in my face

And I guess this world ' s not always good

And nothing ' s real but love

Nothing ' s real but love

No house no car and no job

Can beat love

It won ' t fill you up

No money no house no car

Is like love

La-la-la-la

I put it all away

Holding it back for a rainy day

But what if that day don ' t come

I need love

No money no house and no car is like love

It don ' t fill you up

It won ' t build you up it won ' t fill you up

It ' s not love

And nothing ' s real without love

No money no house and no car

Is like love

Nothing ' s real but love

No money no house no car is like love
