[Verse 1]
Come and see the real thing
Come and see the real thing
Come and see
Come and see the real thing
Come and see the real thing
Come and see
There's a meaning there
But the meaning there
Doesn't really mean a thing
Come and see the real thing
Come and see the real thing
Come and see

[Chorus]
I am the real thing
M-ma, ma, ma, ma, m-ma, ma, ma, ma
M-ma, ma, ma, ma, m-ma, ma, ma, ma
M-ma, ma, ma, ma, m-ma, ma, ma, ma
M-ma, ma, ma, ma, m-ma, ma, ma, ma
M-ma, ma, ma, ma, m-ma, ma, ma, ma
M-ma, ma, ma, ma, m-ma, ma, ma, ma
M-ma, ma, ma, ma

[Verse 2]
Trying hard to understand
But really not you're seeing me
Trying hard to understand
But really not you're seeing me
There's a meaning there
But the meaning there
Doesn't really mean a thing
Come and see the real thing
Come and see the real thing
Come and see
[Chorus]
I am the real thing
M-ma, ma, ma, ma, m-ma, ma, ma, ma
M-ma, ma, ma, ma, m-ma, ma, ma, ma
M-ma, ma, ma, ma, m-ma, ma, ma, ma
M-ma, ma, ma, ma, m-ma, ma, ma, ma
M-ma, ma, ma, ma, m-ma, ma, ma, ma
M-ma, ma, ma, ma, m-ma, ma, ma, ma
M-ma, ma, ma, ma

[Bridge]
I am not feeling you
I am not seeing you

[Verse 3]
Trying hard to understand
But really not you're seeing me
Trying hard to understand
But really not you're seeing me
There's a meaning there
But the meaning there
Doesn't really mean a thing
Come and see the real thing
Come and see the real thing
Come and see
