The Real Thing

(eric silver)
 Don't want your picture in a frame on the table
 Don't want your notes on the wall
 Don't want your voice on the phone machine baby
 Don't want your stuff in the hall
 Don't want your smell on the pillow next to me
 No roses at my front door
 No dedication on the radio station
 No substitutions no more
 I just want the real thing that's how it is
 Your tender touch baby, your sweet kiss
 No imitation darling, that's not my business
 I'm talking 'bout the genuine thing
 The real thing
 Don't wanna hear about how much you miss me
 And wish you had a little more time
 But if you really want to try to convince me
 Try with your lips next time
 I just want the real thing that's how it is
 Your tender touch baby, your sweet kiss
 No imitation darling, that's not my business
 I'm talking 'bout the genuine thing
 The real thing
 In my arms, in the flesh
 A little ole fashioned tenderness
 No ruby ring, no taj mahal
 I just need you and that's all
 I just want the real thing that's how it is
 Your tender touch baby, your sweet kiss
 No imitation darling, that's not my business
 I'm talking 'bout the genuine thing
 The real thing
