You are even better than the real thing
Yeah yeah
You are even better than the real thing
Yeah yeah
I just caught up with a good dream real things
Never really seem to add up no
And I've been outta touch with this thing called love
Cuz I ain't think I deserved it much
But I've been moving left hit a right there
You were standing right there
Light stare
My favorite nightmare
If this is a dream then Ima stay here forever
And you can keep the real thing cuz I ain't found nothing better
It's like
You are even better than the real thing
Yeah yeah
You are even better than the real
Yeah yeah
Say it with a smile
If you can't stay a while
I won't put you on a trial no way
I know it's been a long time
And if you gotta be fine
But I can't honestly lie this one away
Cuz I've been hella down
Since you ain't been around
And I trust you want the best
But it's easy to forget that
This ain't the real thing but it's even better
It's all in my head where it will be forever
You are even better than the real thing
Yeah yeah
You are even better than the real thing
Yeah yeah
