[Verse 1]
I think I met somebody
Oh, wait a minute
He ain't ready for it, oh
Why's it so hard to find someone to treat me right?
Feels like this happens every time (Every time)
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm over all these four-day love affairs
Baby, it's not fair
I'm worthy of a lot and I'm aware
So, baby, if you care
You gotta love me, gotta love me 'til you don't know how
You gotta love me, only love me and nobody else
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing will do
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing with you
'Causе I'm looking for the real thing
Only the rеal thing will do
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing
[Verse 2]
A never-ending quest, it's so frustrating
I keep mistaking boys for men
I won't be settling, no, not for anything
'Cause I need one-hundred percent
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm over all these four-day love affairs
Baby, it's not fair
I'm worthy of a lot and I'm aware
So baby, if you care
You gotta love me, gotta love me 'til you don't know how
You gotta love me, only love me and nobody else
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing will do
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing with you
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing will do
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing
[Bridge]
I'm looking for it
I'll know it when I have it
I'm looking for it
I'll know it when I find it
[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta love me, gotta love me 'til you don't know how
You gotta love me, only love me and nobody else
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing will do
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing with you
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing will do
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing
[Outro]
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing will do
'Cause I'm looking for the real thing
Only the real thing
