1,2, 1,2,3 uh
Doo da doo, m doo da do ba do do do
Doo da doo, m doo da do ba do do do

Looking forward to seein' you
But it's been such a long, long time
Looking forward to feelin' your
Love, its been so heavy on my mind

On my mind, all the time
On my mind

Had a chance to look forward
To be part of your loving my dreams
But I can't be happy with
Fantasizing instead of the real thing

The real thing, not my dreams
The real thing

There are no words that can express the way I feel today
Cos I feel today, like no other day, longing more and more for your loving
There are no songs that I can sing to ease my troubled mind
Cos my troubled mind will be troubled blue
Until you say you're coming home to me, hooo, hooo

Let me hear you say baby, let me hear you say the words
Sing your love in a hurry
Send it's melody via love bird

A love bird, send your word,
By a love bird

There are no words that can express the way I feel today
Cos I feel today, like no other day, longing more and more for your loving
There is no other someone that can ease my aching heart
Cos my aching heart told my troubled mind, the only remedy to this pain is your love

Let me hear you say baby, everything's gonna be alright
Stop my heart from aching
Stop my eyes from crying through the night

Through the night, I won't cry
Through the night

Doo, doo doo, doo doo doo doo

The real thing, not my dreams,
The real thing, not my dreams
The real thing, not my dreams
The real thing
