Mary J Blige - Real Love Lyrics

Mary J Blige Lyrics

"Real Love"
(feat. Notorious B.I.G. & Puffy)

We are lovers through and through
And though we made it through the storm
I really want you to realize, I really want to put you on
I've been searching for someone to satisfy my every need
Won't you be my inspiration?
Be the real love that I need

Real love, I'm searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I'm searching for a real love

Ooh, when I met you
I just knew that you would take my heart and run
Until you told me how you loved for me, you said I'm not the one
So I slowly came to see all of the things that you were made of
And now I hope my dreams and inspiration lead me towards a real love

Real love, I'm searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I'm searching for a real love
I got to have a real love

Love so true, and oh baby, I thought that love was you
I thought that you were the answer to the question in my mind
But it seems that I was wrong, if I stay strong, maybe I'll find
A real love

So I try my best and pray to God he send me someone real
To caress me and to guide me towards a love my heart can feel
Now I know I can be faithful, I can be your all and all
I give you good lovin' through the summertime, winter, spring and fall

Real love, I'm searching for a real love (Real love, real love)
Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I'm searching for a real love
Real love, I'm searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I'm searching for a real love

See, I'm searching for a real love and I don't know where to go
(Real love, I'm searching for a real love)
Been around the world and high and low and still I never know
(Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I'm searching for a real love)
How it feels to have a real love cause it seems it's not around
Gotta end it in this way because it seems he can't be found

Real love, I'm searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I'm searching for a real love
Real love, I'm searching for a real love
Someone to set my heart free
Real love, I'm searching for a real love
Real love

The second single from the album, "Real Love" was Mary J. Blige's first top-ten hit. The song was released on the 25th of August 1992 and peaked at number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100.

This song's drum sequence is sampled from "Top Billin'" by Audio Two.

Producer Mark Rooney, who worked on this song, told in an interview with ebony.com, "Mary J. Blige is the female that's from the hood that sings the pain of all of the females from the hood. At that point in her life, she was being taken advantage of by a lot of the industry cats and a song like 'Real Love' described her situation."
