It's two o'clock in the morning
As she runs through her lines again
Tears wash her makeup away
Somewhere on the lower east side
She's been up all night
Her boiling emotions cascade
Then she calls me on the phone
And I have to say
You need a real love in your life
Feel the healing warmth of someone
Who brings you to new heights
You need a real love in your life
She lives in the very worse section
But the F train takes her to freedom
She's the actress and the character
She looses herself in the role
Watch as she let's herself go
As she leaves this world for another
Then she calls me on the phone
And I have to say
You need a real love in your life
Feel the healing warmth of someone
Who brings you to new heights
You need a real love in your life
Take a chance feel my heart beat
This love is real not fantasy
And I'll be waiting in the wings
You need a real love in your life
A gentle loving spirit
To hold you close at night
You need a real love in your life
