lyrics

The Real Thing:

You’re cryin’, walked these streets so many times
Legs flirtin’ with the pavement city lines
Broken back, tryin’ to pick up the pieces of your heart
You stop believin’ and your dreams they fall apart

How many times I gotta tell you?
It’s like you’re runnin’, runnin’, runnin’ in circles

I’m talking about the real thing, a piece of the action, the right stuff yeah
I’m talkin’ about the sweet thing, honey
Called love

Hard to make all those people understand
When you’re playin’ rock and roll in Dixieland
Smokin’ like a chimney in a house that’s burnin’ down
While your friends are runnin’ ‘round the block tryin’ to find a little water to save you, baby yeah

They just keep runnin’, runnin, woah woah

I’m talkin’ about the real thing, a piece of the action, the right stuff yeah
I’m talkin’ about the sweet thing honey
I’m talkin bout the big deal, the genuine article, the promised land
I’m talkin about the real thing honey

You’re talkin’ ‘bout the artificial, fabricated,
Hopeless, Helpless,
Two faced, imitated,
no good, god damn,
heartbreakers

I’m talkin’ about the real thing, a piece of the action, the right stuff yeah
I’m talkin’ bout the sweet thing, honey

I’m talkin’ about the real thing, a piece of the action, the right stuff yeah
I’m talkin’ about the sweet thing honey
I’m talkin bout the big deal, the genuine article, the promised land
I’m talkin about the real thing honey
Called love
