(If I can't have you)
(Got to be you)
(Real thing)
(If I can't have you)
(Got to be you)
(Real thing)
Come on stay tonight
Come on soothe my mind
Oh honey (got to be you, real thing)
I've been holdin' on
I've been lookin' for the real thing
Waitin' patiently but I never stopped believin'
Say I'm chasin' rainbows livin' in a dream
Girl I kept my fantasy I'm never givin' in
I'll tell you why, oh why
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got be you
Oh I need the real thing
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got be you
I don't need no substitute
I need the real thing
Had a part-time love
But I never fell completely
But when you touch me there
Ooh you get me reelin' yes you do
Can I dare to wonder
If it could be you
Girl you set my heart on fire
When I dream of you
I wanna fly, oh so very high
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got be you
Oh I need the real thing
If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got be you
I don't need no substitute
I need the real thing
(If I can't have you)
(Got to be you)
(Real thing)
Come on stay tonight
Come on soothe my mind oh honey
(got to be you, real thing)
Come on stay tonight
Come on soothe my mind oh honey
(got to be you, real thing)
