The Real Thing (Radio Edit)

I've been holdin' on

I've been lookin' for the real thing

Waitin' patiently

But I never stop believin'

Say I'm chasin' rainbows

Livin' in a dream

Girl, I kept my fantasy, I'm never givin' in

I'll tell you why

Oh

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby

Girl, it's got to be you

Oh, I need the real thing

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby

Girl, it's got to be you

I don't need to substitute, I need the real thing

Had a part-time love

But I never fell completely

But when you touch me there

Ooh, you get me reelin'

Yes, you do

Can I dare to wonder if it could be you?

Girl, you set my heart on fire when I dream of you

I wanna fly

Oh, so very high

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby

Girl, it's got to be you

Oh, I need the real thing

If I can't have you

I don't want nobody, baby

Girl, it's got to be you

I don't need to substitute, I need the real thing

(If I can't have you)

(Got to be you)

(Real thing)

Come on, stay tonight

Come on, soothe my mind

Oh, honey

(Got to be you)

(Real thing)

Come on, stay tonight

Come on, soothe my mind

Oh, honey
