Out in the Real World lyrics
by The O’Jays
Ah man, I really need
Get myself together
Sitting around here worrying
Things ain't gonna get any better
You've got to weather (Weather)
A storm or whatever (Whatever)
And keep holding onto
Some sunshine, sunshine
Now, some of us made it through school
And went on to college
But you can't graduate yet
Until you get some of that real street knowledge
You've got to be clever (Clever)
Don't give up, never ever (Never)
And keep praying for
Some sunshine, sunshine
'Cause out in the real world
It's an everyday fight
You, mmh (You've got to carry your load, got to take hold)
Well (You've got to make a living)
'Cause out in the real world
You better take care
Your own little corner of the world, oh
Now, you might land a good job
And it looks like you're making progress
But you won't be working there long
Unless your taking care, serious business
You've got to weather (Weather)
A storm or whatever (Whatever)
And keep holding onto
Some sunshine, sunshine
'Cause out in the real world
It's an everyday fight
You, mmh (You've got to carry your load, got to take hold)
Well (You've got to make a living)
'Cause out in the real world
You better take care
Your own little corner, your own little spot in the world, well
Oh, oh, own little part of the world
Aaah
'Cause out in the real world
Oh (It's an everyday fight)
You, well (You've got to carry your load, got to take hold)
Come on (You've got to make a living)
Out (Out in the real world)
It's an everyday fight (It's an everyday fight)
You, well (You've got to carry your load, got to take hold)
Mmmh (You've got to make a living)
Out (Out in the real world)
It's an everyday fight (It's an everyday fight)
You, well (You've got to carry your load, got to take hold)
Mmmh (You've got to make a living)
