The Real Thing

It's a cruel and funny world

He who has the gold supposed to get the girl

So, I know I don't fit the plans

Of your momma and your old man, they don't understand

I ain't in it for money

Ain't in it for fame

Ain't pretendin’ to be somebody

Yeah, I'm here for the real thing, oh, the real thing

And baby, you're the real thing

City lights and high society

Never looked quite right on me

But out here on the outskirts of your dreams

Through the moonlight you will see

The best things in life are free

I ain't in it for money

Ain't in it for fame

Ain't pretendin’ to be somebody

Yeah, I'm here for the real thing, oh, the real thing

And baby, you're the real thing

I'm in it, I'm in it for love

I'm in it for your brain

Yeah, I'm here for your body

Yeah, I'm here for the real thing, oh, the real thing

And baby, you’re the real thing, oh, the real thing

Baby, you’re the real thing, the real thing

Baby, you’re the real thing
