Cowboys don't cry   And heroes don't die   Good always wins   Again and again      Love is a sweet dream   That always comes true   Oh, if life were like the movies   I'd never be blue      But here in the real world   It's not that easy at all   'Cause when hearts get broken   It's real tears that fall      And darling it's sad but true   But the one thing I've learned from you   Is how the boy don't always get the girl   Here in the real world      I gave you my love   But that wasn't enough   To hold your heart   When times got rough      And tonight on that silver screen   It'll end like it should   Two lovers will make it through   Like I hoped we would      But here in the real world   It's not that easy at all   'Cause when hearts get broken   It's the real tears that fall      And darling it's sad but true   But the one thing I've learned from you   Is how the boy don't always get the girl   Here in the real world   No, the boy don't always get the girl   Here in the real world
