Real Thing

Here comes the night

Once again

I'll be feeling lonely

Oh, if only things could work out like you've planned

Where can love be

Tell me why it's so hard to find somebody

Who will stand by me

And take the time to understand

And show me love again

[Chorus:]

I want the real thing

Or nothing at all

I need someone that I can be sure will catch me

If I should fall

Someone who'll be there when I call

Then I'll know that it's the real thing

I want the real thing

To hold me each night

Someone to love me over and over

Making the future bright

Somebody who will make it alright

And give me the real thing

Where is the moon?

Won't it smile

On just one more dreamer

Let your beams come down

And fill my empty room

Here comes the night

But if there's still a chance

That love can find me

I'll be here

Crossing my fingers

I want to know for sure

That I can feel secure

Knowing I've found an everlasting love

And once I get that under control

Then I won't let go
