I know you do Yes I’m in love [Verse 2] Watch them speculate on the life you live Watch them try to hate all the love you give All the love you give [Verse 3] Everybody everybody wants to know Where you’re goin’ to ’cause they wanna come Or so they think until they find the cost of it ’Til they find out find out what you lost for it And I’d do it all again ’Cause I found love ’Cause I found love [Refrain] Don’t you wish you had real love? I know you do Yes I’m in love [Chorus] Everybody everybody wants to know Where you’re goin’ to what you’re runnin’ from What you’re goin’ through where you’re comin’ from What you’re goin’ through where you’re comin’ from Everybody everybody wants to know What you’re gonna do where you’re goin’ to (Where you’re goin’ to) ’Cause they wanna come (Wanna come) where I’m showin’ you (Showin’ you) Yes they wanna come where I’m showin’ you (Showin’ you) [Post-Chorus] All that you can be is a spectacle Following after every single miracle (Miracle) Watch them marvel at (Marvel at) all the joy you have (Joy you have) But they’re too important to have all the joy you have (To have all) What a tragedy (Tragedy) you can laugh at me (You can laugh at me) You can laugh at me (You can laugh at me) But I’m in love Yes I’m in love [Refrain] Don’t you wish you had real love?
