The Real Thing Lyrics

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

I am the real thing
Um mau mau mau mau
Um mau mau mau mau
Um mau mau mau mau
Um mau mau mau mau
Um mau mau mau mau.....

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

I am the real thing
Um mau mau mau mau
Um mau mau mau mau
Um mau mau mau mau
Um mau mau mau mau
Um mau mau mau mau.....

I am not seeing
I am not seeing
Aah

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

I am the real thing
Um mau mau mau mau
Um mau mau mau mau
Um mau mau mau mau
Um mau mau mau mau
Um mau mau mau mau.....

Um mau mau mau mau.....

I am the real thing

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
