I don't buy the lines in magazines  That tell me what I've gotta be  Don't base my life on a movie screen  Don't fit the mold society has planned    I don't need to be 19-years-old  Or starve myself for some weight I'm told  Or turn men's heads down that road  And I thank God I finally know just who I am    I ain't a movie star  They never see the view from where they are  And this old town may be as far as I'm goin'  What he'll hold tonight in his hands  He swears is so much better than  Anything this old world can show him    I'm a real live woman  In love with this man I see lyin' here next to me  Lost in the way that he's holdin'  This real live woman  In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep knowin' there's  Nothin' on earth he loves more than  This real live woman    I work 9-5 and I can't relate  To millionaires who somehow fate  Has smiled upon and fortune made their  Common lives a better place to be    And I no longer justify  Reasons for the way that I behave  I offer no apologies  For the things that I believe and say  And I like it that way    Cause I'm a real live woman  In love with this man I see lyin' here next to me  Lost in the way that he's holdin'  This real live woman  In the arms of a man where I'll fall asleep knowin' there's  Nothin' on earth he loves more than  This real live woman
