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 wer written on
You kept me waiting for th 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’s 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
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
