ABC - The Real Thing lyrics

Your rating:

A mongoose can smile at a cobra
But that cobra will always be a snake
Diamante can shine like a diamond
But you know, like I know that rock will be fake

It's the real thing, the real thing
Nothing but the real thing, it's real
It's the real thing, the real thing
Nothing but the real thing, it's real
It's real, yeah
So real, yeah

You can xerox the Mona Lisa
Deadpan Da Vinci in every detail
Might beat customs on a homemade visa
But false papers only gets you in jail

It's the real thing, the real thing
Nothing but the real thing, it's real
It's the real thing, the real thing
Nothing but the real thing, it's real
It's real, yeah
So real, yeah

Life wears a smile on it's face
But it comes with a sting in it's tail
Make believe fables have their place
But only a fool, only a fool
Only a fool believes fairy tales

I heard all the lies that they tell you
Phone me baby, the check's in the mail
Well as fantasy might please you
But as the real thing, it does nothing but fail

It's the real thing, the real thing
Nothing but the real thing, it's real
It's the real thing, the real thing
Nothing but the real thing, it's real

It's real, yeah
So real, yeah
It's real, yeah
It's so real....

It's real, yeah
So real, yeah
