Real Thing Songtext / Lyric

She said that she'd
Take it off right here
Take it off right now
Give him back his ring to stay with me
She must think that's what I want to hear
Good as it may sounds
I know myself that can't be [Bridge]
And I didn't feel bad about it till right then
Had to remind her that
We were just pretend [Chorus]
I said "Baby I want you, but he needs you"
Stay with the real thing
I'll never love you like he'll
See I only want you
Baby he needs you
Stay with the real thing
Stay with the real thing
Stay with your man

Here comes a tear (Here comes a tear)
Baby please don't cry
I thought you knew what this was
Baby never could I take the place
Of your husband
But we'll always be friends
Baby we shouldn't have become lovers

[Bridge]
And I didn't feel bad about it till right then
Had to remind her that
We were just pretend

[Chorus]
I said "Baby I want you, but he needs you"
Stay with the real thing
I'll never love you like he'll
See I only want you (Baby I only want you)
Baby he needs you (Baby he needs you)
Stay with the real thing
Stay with the real thing
Ooh, stay with your man

Hmm, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Hey
He's got love for you forever
Why can't you see
Here with me won't be better
Oh

[Chorus]
Cause I only want you
But he needs you
Stay with the real thing
I'll never love you like he'll
See I only want you baby (I only want you)
Baby he needs you (He needs you)
Stay with the real thing, Stay with the real thing
Stay with the real thing, Stay with the real thing
Stay with your man

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
