(If I can't have you)
(Got to be you)
(Real thing)
(If I can't have you)
(Got to be you)
(Real thing) [bad word] on stay [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] on stay tonight [bad word] on soothe my mind oh honey 
(got to be you, real [bad word] on stay tonight [bad word] on soothe my mind oh honey 
(got to be you, real thing)
