Waiting for the Real Thing

Let's get to the heart of the matter now
 Of what's goin' on
 One minute you tell me you love me
 The next I wake up, and you're gone
 I'm getting your signals all crossed up
 And I can't tune in
 I thought that, babe, you were my lover
 But now you're not even my friend
 You kept me waiting for the real thing
 So I'm leaving you alone
 You're not even worth the paper
 That these words were written on
 You kept me waiting for the real thing all along
 Let's get to the root of the matter now
 Is this how you feel?
 You had me believing the whole time
 That our love was true and for real
 It's all coming out in the wash now
 That you played a fool
 And now that the whole town is talking
 There ain't nothin' left I can do
 You kept me waiting for the real thing
 So I'm leaving you alone
 You're not even worth the paper
 That these words were written on
 I don't want you back, I just want you gone
 Thought you had me, girl, but you were wrong
 I was waiting for the real thing all along
 ♪
 And I'm waiting
 And I'm waiting for the real thing
 I've been waiting for the real thing all along
 But now I'm here chasin' myself back
 To find out what went wrong
 One, two, three
 You kept me waiting for the real thing
 So I'm leaving you alone
 You're not even worth the paper
 That these words were written on
 You kept me waiting for the real thing
 So I'm leaving you alone
 I don't want you back, I just want you gone
 Thought you had me, girl, but you were wrong
 I don't need the show, you can hit the road
 This has got to stop, grab your shit and go
 I've been waiting for the real thing all along
