The Real Thing Songtext
von ABC

It′s real, yeah
So real, yeah

A mongoose can smile at a cobra
But that cobra will always be a snake
Diamante can shine like a diamond
But you know like I know that rock will be fake

It's the real thing, the real thing
Nothing but the real thing, it′s real
It's the real thing, the real thing
Nothing but the real thing, it's real

It′s real, yeah
So real, yeah

You can xerox the Mona Lisa
Dead Da Vinci in every detail
Might beat customs on a homemade visa
But false papers only gets you in jail


It′s the real thing, the real thing
Nothing but the real thing, it's real
It′s the real thing, the real thing
Nothing but the real thing, it's real

It′s real, yeah
So real, yeah

Life wears a smile on its face
But it comes with a sting in its tail
Make believe fables have their place
But only a fool, only a fool
Only a fool believes fairy tales

I've heard all the lies that they′ll tell ya
Don't worry, baby, the check's in the mail
Well, this fantasy, it might please ya
But as the real thing, it does nothing but fail

It′s the real thing, the real thing
Nothing but the real thing, it′s real
It's the real thing, the real thing
Nothing but the real thing, it′s real


It's real, yeah
So real, yeah
It′s real, yeah
And so real, yeah
So real, yeah
It's real, yeah
So real, yeah

It′s real, yeah
So real, yeah
It's real, yeah
It's real, yeah
So real, yeah
