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
