Real Thing

[Verse 1]
Alright
Some people get their kicks
When they bring confusion
Comin' on with miracle licks
But it's only illusion
And all the while your real thing
Talkin' 'bout your real thing
Just ride on by you

[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, yeah
Well, I'm not here to meet
Your expectations
'Specially while you're out in the street
Chasin' cheap imitations
I'm here to tell ya that your real thing
You better believe this real thing
Slips right on by you

[Bridge]
Well, grass looks so much greener
In somebody else's backyard
I hate to be the one to heave it to you, baby
But the truth is bound to hit you hard
I know it's kinda hard for you to get to (It's so hard)
But I can't be controlled (It's so hard)
Tryin' to find ya often, baby
Can't be bought and sold (You can't)

[Verse 3]
Yeah, hey, hey, yeah
Baby, you have no idea
What I've just been through
And there are no more corners here
That they can back us into
They're all lookin' for the real thing
So, don't you ever let your real thing
Get away from you

[Outro]
Great God Almighty, now (Gonna get the real thing)
Babe, you gonna use it (Get away from the real thing)
Whoa, come on, now (Gonna get the real thing)
You gonna lose it (Get away from the real thing)
Keep your eyes on the real thing (Gonna get the real thing)
Whatever you do (Get away from the real thing)
Don't fool around with the real thing (Gonna get the real thing)
Don't run away from it (Get away from the real thing)
Talkin' 'bout your real thing (Gonna get the real thing)
No forty second-hand deal thing (Get away from the real thing)
Can't be a plastic (Gonna get the real thing)
Fantastic, elastic (Get away from the real thing)
Ooh-wow, gotta have it, now (Gonna get the real thing)
'Cause that's the real thing (Get away from the real thing)
Yeah, yeah (Gonna get the real thing)
Yeah, yeah, Yeah (Get away from the real thing)
