[Germaine]
Gimme the real thing
Gimme the real thing


[Rachel]
When I was a little girl

Momma always used to say
Once you step out in the world
Men are gonna come your way


[Pre-chorus]
Yes it's true, I admit

All the things your make me feel
And it's cool, I submit
To the fact this could be real

I believe this is it
Can you show me what's the deal
I don't wanna waste my time


[Chorus]
I want the real thing

Not an imitation
Gimme the real thing
Not a simulation

Cause when a man comes along
Who can sing my song
I'm gonna let him sing

Til the break of dawn
I want the real thing


[Germaine]
Gimme the real thing


[Raffaëla]
Baby you've been coming around
Creeping into my soul

Took al my defenses down
This might be the time to lose control


[Pre-chorus]
Yes it's true, I admit
All the things your make me feel

And it's cool, I submit
To the fact this could be real
I believe this is it

Can you show me what's the deal
I don't wanna waste my time


[Chorus]
I want the real thing
Not an imitation

Gimme the real thing
Not a simulation
Cause when a man comes along

Who can sing my song
I'm gonna let him sing
Til the break of dawn

I want the real thing

Gimme that sweet loving

I want the real thing

[Pre-chorus] [Raffaëla]

Yes it's true, I admit [Yes it's true]
All the things your make me feel [Make me feel]
And it's cool, I submit [I submit]

To the fact this could be real [This is real]
I believe this is it [I believe]
Can you show me what's the deal [What's the deal]

I don't wanna waste my time

[Chorus]

I want the real thing
Not an imitation
Gimme the real thing

Not a simulation
Cause when a man comes along
Who can sing my song
I'm gonna let him sing
Til the break of dawn

I want the real thing

Gimme that sweet loving
I want the real thing
