in real life is a song about wanting someone that s gonna take care of you and that is gonna treat you like a lady and a woman and it s hmm just got a really funny message to it in the end of the song you know it turn around and she finds that that person that takes care of her and you know gives her sweet kisses and you know roses and everything i think it s a really cute song but i love how musically the chord progression it s just it kinda takes you to on this roller coaster i think it s really cool
