Boy and girl fall in love, startin' out, just enough

Pocket change, lean 'n green, first and last, security

Newlyweds, overheads, all we really had was each other

All 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 together, and...

Chorus:

Real love will survive

Devil of defeat, better step aside

Real love will survive

If ya need a witness

Me and my little misses

We can testify

Made 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'

(Repeat chorus x 2)
