As a single woman, we've all faced the question of whether we should continue to date, or wait for the love of our lives to come along. In this song, Rajdulari reminisces on a past casual love and her choice to let him go in order to open her heart up for the real committed love that she'd always longed for.
lyrics
Real Love
Verse 1
We stayed up talkin’ til break of dawn...
And it helped me not to feel so alone
A burning attraction I can't explain
But how I was drawn to him all the same
And he stayed on my mind, all of the time night and day
Though we, we know it ain't right, this casual game that we play
I know that I should not choose
To settle for feeling this pain
(break) Cause I could imagine real love….
Verse 2
Now women, we know how hard it can be
When you’re single for a long time, and you’re feelin’ lonely
You might think it’s right to have a temporary night
But why waste good love on the wrong guy
Cuz the love, the real love I needed stayed on my mind, all of the time night and day
As time went on, I knew it wasn't right, the casual game that I played
So I let go and opened
My heart up for real Love
Bridge:
Cause real love takes time
It's not just passion without relationship
And I know here in my life, I can't keep falling for the wrong thing
What if I meet Mr. Right, yet I’m here
Wasting all my time with you?
When real love comes in my life
I want to be ready
So I’ll be careful
With my love
And hold on, for real
Cause I can feel and taste true love
It’s right within my grasp
And all of the trust and honesty
That comes with having someone just for me
Now my ladies, you know what I’m talkin about
When your heart is feeling sad, and you’re living without
The love that you know you really want
The love that you deserve
Don’t compromise, cuz it just ain’t worth it
So you gotta let go & wait for the right one to come along
You know that you should not choose to settle for feeling this
Hold on and wait for the right one to come along
