I've been holding on
I've been looking for the real thing
Waiting patiently, but I'll never stopped believing
Say I'm chasin' rainbows rainbows living 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 to be you
Ohh I need the real thing

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got to be you
Ohh I need the real thing

Had a part-time love
But I never [bad word] 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, so very high

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got to be you
Ohh I need the real thing

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got to be you (I don't need no subtitute)
Ohh I need the real thing

Girl listen, we don't wan't nobody baby
Please now, everybody clap your hands up in the air
Every mind, every girl, in the whole wide world
Big up now [bad word] and stay [bad word] and soothe my mind
Ohh [bad word] and stay [bad word] and soothe my mind
Ohh honey

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got to be you
Ohh I need the real thing

If I can't have you
I don't want nobody baby
Girl it's got to be you (I don't need no subtitute)
Ohh I need the real thing
