the real thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This could be the real thing if we let it
This could be the real thing, the real thing
You and me, babe, been a really long drive
Falling asleep on the passenger side
When we get home, will you hold me close?
Eye to eye and nose to nose
This could be the real thing
If we let it, this could be the real thing
If we don't fuck it up by overthinking
If we let it, this could be the real thing
The real thing
I swear I know God when you're touching me
So keep the lights on 'cause I wanna see you
You make me strong, but you make me weak
You give me life, but you're killing me
This could be the real thing
If we let it, this could be the real thing
If we don't fuck it up by overthinking
If we let it, this could be the real thing
The real thing, yeah-eh
Ooh-woo-oh-oh, woo-oh-oh
Ooh-woo-oh-oh, woo-oh-oh
Ooh-woo-oh-oh, woo-oh-oh
Ooh-woo-oh, woo
Ooh-woo-oh-oh, woo-oh-oh (woo)
Ooh-woo-oh-oh, woo-oh-oh
Ooh-woo-oh-oh, woo-oh-oh (ah)
Ooh-woo-oh, woo
Ooh-woo-oh-oh, woo-oh-oh (woo)
Ooh-woo-oh-oh, woo-oh-oh (ah)
Ooh-woo-oh-oh, woo-oh-oh (ah, ah)
Ooh-woo-oh, woo
(woo, ah)
This could be the real thing
If we let it, this could be the real thing, the real thing
This could be the real thing
If we don't fuck it up, it'd be the real thing, the real thing
