She was like nothing I'd ever known
Her eyes shine like diamonds in a field 
of snow
The man that destiny led her to meet
Made her feel that life was 
now complete

And now some days have passed and nights gone by
You can 
see the glow slowly fading from her eyes
Though she denies her pain and her 
dismay
Oh, I said this to her anyway

* Don't have to stay with 
someone
That makes you cry
You'll end up killing all the love you have 
inside
Can't hope to see the sun
If you don't open your eyes
Girl, 
don't let real love pass you by

Ooh oh no
Ooh don't let real love pass 
you by

I know you're nervous but take it from me
Cause you deserve so 
much more than you receive
Listen to your heart and let it show
Don't hold 
onto your pain
Just let it go, let it go

[Repeat * , *]

Oh 
yeah
Girl don't let real love pass you by
You can find the love you 
need
If you set your heart free
Don't have to stay with someone
That 
makes you cry
Don't be discouraged baby
Don't let real love pass you 
by

[Repeat * , *]

Don't you let nothing
Don't let no one take 
you away from love
Don't let real love pass you by
You'll see I know, I 
know, I know
You'll be alright
Don't let real love pass you by
You just 
can believe in love, in love, in love, in love
Don't let real love pass you 
by
Oh yeah
Don't let real love pass you by
Ooh, yeah
Don't let real 
love pass you by
Don't let, don't let, don't let, don't let
Don't let, 
don't let, don't let, don't let
Don't let real love pass you by
Oh yeah, 
oh
Don't let real love pass you by
