The Real Thing Songtext
von Betty Everett

Well, it looks to me like this could be the real thing
Well, it looks to me like this could be the real thing

A change has come over me
My heart beats impatiently
I just can′t wait (Can't wait) ′til tonight
'Cause I know he's gonna hold (Gonna hold) me tight

And it looks to me like this could be the real thing
Well, it looks to me like this could be the real thing

Lately, I′ve been acting strange
In my life, there′s been a change
I just didn't know (How sweet) it was
And I′m so glad (To be) in love

And it looks to me like this could be the real thing
Well, it looks to me like this could be the real thing


I keep walking 'round and ′round
Talking about the love I found
I get such a thrill
And my head keeps reeling
I'm so absent-minded
But really, I don′t mind it

'Cause it looks to me like this could be
Well, it looks to me like this could be
Well, it looks to me like this could be the real thing

Every time you call me "Honey"
I start to acting funny
And when you hold me (I feel) so good
And you know you kiss me (Just like) you should

And it looks to me like this could be the real thing
Well, it looks to me like this could be the real thing

Talking 'bout the real thing (Talkin′ ′bout the real thing)
Yes, I'm talking ′bout the real thing (Talkin' ′bout the real thing)
Oh, baby (Talkin' ′bout the real thing)
Talking 'bout the real thing, yeah (Talkin' ′bout the real thing)
