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
