The Real Thing

If you're cabdriver baby then you're too late
I'll just go with the signs honey it's okay
If you do all the things that you wanted to do
I'll be here if you want, I will be waiting for you
Get me on my feet again
I have/I've got trouble standing straight
The real thing must grow, I care alot about you honey
The real thing must grow, I care alot about you honey
So where, where do we go
The real thing must grow grow grow grow grow grow
If it doens't work out there will be no one to blame
Then I'll send you home with the transmission train
And I will give my broken heart to someone else
But you know I'll miss you and that it's your name I call
Get me on my feet again
I have/ iIve got trouble standing straight
The real thing must grow, I care alot about you honey
The real thing must grow, I care alot about you honey
So where, where do we go
The real thing must grow grow grow grow grow grow
