Real Love Lyrics

All my little plans and schemes,
Lost like some forgotten dreams,
Seems that 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 love, it's real.

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

Don't need to be afraid,
No need to be afraid.
It's real love, it's real.
Yes it's real love, it's real.

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 alone,
Don't need to be alone.
It's real love, it's real.
It's real love, it's real.
Yes it's real love, it's real.
It's real love, it's real.
Yes it's real love, it's real.
It's real love, it's real.
Yes it's real love, it's real.
It's real love, it's real.

Real Love Song Chart

This was an unfinished song written by John Lennon that was completed by the remaining Beatles. It was the second "new" release for the Anthology 2 album ("Free As A Bird" was the first). Yoko Ono supplied Lennon's demos and gave the remaining Beatles permission to use them.

Jeff Lynne from The Electric Light Orchestra put this together. He has produced albums for George Harrison and played with him in The Traveling Wilburys.

Lennon recorded his demo on a small tape recorder, which posed a challenge when Lynne tried to mix it with updated tracks. He was able to use a noise reduction system to improve the sound. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Paul McCartney did his best John Lennon imitation to help the lead vocal because the recording of John's voice was low and spotty in some places. The lead vocal is actually a John and Paul duet. (thanks, Glen - Dallas, TX)

This is the only Beatles song where the songwriting credit is John Lennon alone instead of Lennon-McCartney or all four Beatles. (thanks, Glen - Dallas, TX)

According to notes in the John Lennon album Acoustic, when Lennon wrote this song, the original title was "Girls and Boys." (thanks, Julia - OH)
