I Want the Real Thing Lyrics

The way I see it
There's not much time
Love is fleeting when it's undefined
Tell me straight what I want to hear
Tell me there's nothing to fear
I can be louder than the demons you shake
I can burn brighter than the day to day
Only so much of this that I can take
Tell me if leaving would make you stay

Oh oh oh oh I want the real thing
Oh oh oh oh I want the real thing
Give me the real thing

Someday I'll crack the code you made
The day you saw through me
Until that moment I'll live inside
A frame you hung to see
What I believe to be

Oh oh oh oh I want the real thing
Oh oh oh oh I want the real thing
Give me the real thing
Oh oh oh oh I want the real thing
Oh oh oh oh I want the real thing
Give me the real thing
(I could turn around)

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.
