Come on stay tonight, come on soothe my mind
Oh honey

(If I can't have you)
(Real thing, real thing)

If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby

Girl it's got be you, oh I need the real thing (Real thing)

I've been holdin' on, I've been lookin' for the real thing
Waitin' patiently but I never stopped believin'
Say I'm chashin' rainbows, livin' in a dream
Girl I kept my fantasy, never givin' in
I'll tell you why, oh why

If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got be you, oh I need the real thing
If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got be you, I don't need no substitute
I need the real thing

Had a part-time love but I never fell completely
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

But if I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got be you, I need the real thing (Real thing)
If I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got be you, I don't need no substitute
I need the real thing (Real thing)

Come on stay tonight, come on soothe my mind
Oh honey
(If I can't have you)
(Real thing, real thing)
