Real Love by John Lennon

I was watching the movie Funny People last Sunday and found the movie very good. In the movie, Adam Sandler plays this song with musicians he payed to jam with him. The rendition of the song was very good, I actually didn't realize that it was Real Love, the "new" Beatles song in the Anthology 2 album. Checking on the history of the song, I found out that it was actually an previously unreleased John Lennon song, which was included in a collection of his, Working Class Hero. I had to dug up my Working Class Hero CD just to take it to a listen again. Thanks to Adam Sandler for making me rediscover this song.








All my little plans and schemes
Lost like some forgotten dreams
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Just like little girls and boys
Playing with their little toys
Seems like all they really were doing
Was waiting for love

Don't need to be alone
No need to be alone

It's real love
It's real, yes it's real yes it's real love
It's real

From this moment on I know
Exactly where my life will go
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for love


Thought I'd been in love before,
But in my heart I wanted more
Seems like all I really was doing
Was waiting for you

Don't need to be afraid
No need to be afraid


It's real love
Yes it's real, yes it's real love
It's real.
