The Real Thing

I wanna hear you say yeah!

I wanna marry you, more than a hound will love a bone
Because I love you, more than a king loves his throne
And if we don't do the real thing
I'm not the same
I wanna hear you say yeah!

'Cause I wanna do the real thing, oh
I wanna do the real thing
And if we don't do the real thing
I'm not the same
I wanna hear you say yeah!

I love you, more than a camel loves a desert
Because I need you, more than a chicken needs his feathers
And if we don't do the real thing
I'm not the same
I wanna hear you say yeah!

'Cause I wanna do the real thing, oh
I wanna do the real thing
And if we don't do the real thing
I'm not the same
I wanna hear you say yeah!

You asked my momma if you could be her son-in-law
My momma told you she would not be your ma-in-law
But if we don't do the real thing
I'm not the same
I wanna hear you say yeah!

'Cause I wanna do the real thing, oh
I wanna do the real thing
And if we don't do the real thing
I'm not the same
I wanna hear you say yeah!
