[Verse 1: J Warner]
Why you gonna fight what I know you're wanting?
Don't lose to your pride, you should put your all in
And let it all out, take it there now
Make a comeback, like a rebound
Can't resist it when you play it down
Ooh, why you wanna fight?
What you know I'm needing?
I'm loving the way you take me high
Still can't numb the feeling
[Chorus: J Warner]
And in addition to my addiction
Been convincing you this ain't fiction
Still ain't loving my opinion
This is love's intermission
And that's the real, the real deal, yeah
Yeah, that's the real, the real deal
[Verse 2: Sinéad Harnett]
Why you tryna hide what you're truly feeling?
When you're by my side, you never find a reason
So let it go now, let it fall down
‘Cause your ego's screaming so loud
Can't resists it when you play it down
And how can we deny? The energy is calling
But we choose to lie, oh, when we know we're falling
[Chorus: Sinéad Harnett, J Warner & Both]
And in addition to my addiction
Been convincing you this ain't fiction
Still ain't loving my opinion
This is love's intermission
And that's the real, the real deal, yeah
Yeah, that's the real, the real deal
And that's the real, the real deal
Yeah, that's the real, the real deal
[Bridge: Sinéad Harnett & J Warner]
Nothing can stop us now
Headed beyond the clouds
Don't look down
Oh, I know what you're feeling
You don't need a reason to come around (Come around)
[Chorus: Sinéad Harnett & J Warner, J Warner]
And that's the real, the real deal, yeah
Yeah, that's the real, the real deal (Always all I feel)
And that's the real, the real deal (All I'm feeling, all I'm feeling)
Yeah, that's the real, the real deal
Real Deal was written by Maths Time Joy & Sinéad Harnett & J Warner & Dan Diggas.
Real Deal was produced by Maths Time Joy.

An August 2020 When the Horn Blows article quotes Maths Time Joy saying:
I always wanted to try and make something close to a classic soul song but stylised around more modern production. Jay and I started the track together and then Jay had the idea to have Sinead make it into a duet.
