I’ve Got The Real Thing

Syl Johnson, Carl Smith (Songwriter)

[Verse 1]
I've got the girl that got up and move for me, now
I've got the girl that got up and grooved
I've got security in the palm of my hand, now
I want y'all to know that I ain't playin', yeah
Ho, I've got the real thing, yeah now
Oh I've got the real thing, yeah now

[Chorus]
I've got the real thing, I've got the real thing
It ain't no dream, now

[Verse 2]
I ain't got no picture on the wall
I got the girl that answers when I call
Oh, she ain't no beauty queen
But when I want her, she's always on the scene
That's why I know now, yeah
Woah, I got the real thing, yeah

[Chorus]
I've got the real thing, I've got the real thing
It ain't no dream, now

[Verse 3]
Marvin Gaye and Tammy said it
Syl Johnson even read it, now
There ain't nothin' like the real thing
So much better than a dream, now
That's why, woah that's why, lord
I've got a girl here that's lovin' me so, yeah

[Chorus]
I've got the real thing, I've got the real thing
It ain't no dream, now
Listen, huh

[Verse 4]
When other guys try to make her date
She tell them to wait and see, now
Then she come knockin' on my door
To see if it's alright with me
Oh, that's why I know now, yeah
Oh I got the real thing, yeah

[Chorus]
I've got the real thing, I've got the real thing
It ain't no dream, now, oh

[Outro]
I've got the real thing, oh, I've got the real thing
