Lyrics

The Real Thing

All dressed up, night on the town
Dinner, wine, and roses
I said goodnight you whispered real low
I think I love you

You think, I laughed, well, no thanks
If we have what it takes
You wouldn't have to think quite so hard
Thinkin' about love only goes so far

I want your hands to sweat, your knees to shake
I'd prefer you to feel slightly nauseous
Can you sleep at night? If so, then no
You should be dreaming of us
If you're not stuttering, stammering, can't think straight,
Then it's been fun but I'd rather wait
For the real thing

If I'm not under your skin and in your blood
Let's call it a night and I'll be alright
No, really, I think we should
Cut our losses while we have time

This girl wants to be loved
Wined, dined, treated, needed
Be someone's everything
Not just something to hold, no
