I've got the real thing, here by my side



Love, makes the world go crazy

And I think I'm crazy for you

Need someone who'll save me

And you know I'm talking to you



Take me to your heart

When it's cold and dark

I just want to feel the magic

Hold me in your arms



I've got the real thing, here by my side

Someone who needs me, holding me tight

I've got the real thing



Time, takes your life and chances

But we've all got so much to give

If our love is precious

Now I know it's time to beleive



Every word you say

Shows me that you care

I just want to see

That you're the answer to my prayer



I've got the real thing, here by my side

Someone who needs me, holding me tight



I've got the real thing

Someone who needs me



Somebody does,

I've got the real thing (here by my side), here by my side (I need somebody)

(oh) Someone who needs me (here by my side), holding me tight (I need someone)

I've got the real thing (here by my side), here by my side (I've got somebody)

(oh) Someone who needs me (here by my side), holding me tight (holding me tight)
