Cilla Black - The Real Thing Lyrics

Cilla Black Lyrics

"The Real Thing"
(originally by Betty Everett)

Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing
Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing

A change has come over me
My heart beats impatiently
I just can't wait (Can't wait) 'til tonight
'Cause I know he's gonna hold (gonna hold) me tight

Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing
Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing

Lately, I've been actin' strange
In my life there's been a change
I just didn't know (How sweet) he was
And I'm so glad (To be) in love

Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing
Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing

I keep walkin' 'round and 'round
Talkin' about the love I found
I get such a feelin'
My head keeps reelin'
I'm so absent-minded
But really. I don't mind

Well, it looks to me like this could be
Well, it looks to me like this could be
Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing

Every time you call me, honey
I start to actin' funny
And when you're home (I feel) so good
And I you know you kiss me (Just like) you should

Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing
Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing
Well, it looks to me like this could be
The real thing

Talkin' 'bout the real thing (Real thing)
Talkin' 'bout the real thing (Real thing)
Oh, baby (Talkin' 'bout the real thing)
Oh, baby (Talkin' 'bout the real thing)
Oh, baby (Talkin' 'bout the real thing)
Oh, baby (Talkin' 'bout the real thing)
Oh, baby
