The Real Thing - Kenny Loggins

作词：David Foster/Kenny Loggins

作曲：David Foster/Kenny Loggins

Amanda I know what you aposre thinking

You and I have much to say

And you aposve been making me crazy

Trying to understand

But it aposs impossible at your age

I know I said I aposll always try

But you aposre going to bed alone again tonight

And you lie there in the dark and wonder why

I did it for you and the boys

Because love should teach you joy

And not the imitation

That your momma and daddy tried to show you

I did it for you and for me

And because I still believe

There aposs only one thing

You can never give up

Never compromise on

And that aposs the real thing you need in love

You aposre so afraid your life is over

And nothing I can say can change your mind

How can anybody be so selfish

And treat you all so cruel

The woman screamed at me and cried

I aposll always hold you in my soul

And I aposm never going to leave you all alone

But your daddy doesn apost live here anymore

I did it for you and the boys

Because love should teach you joy

And not the imitation

That your momma and daddy tried to show you

I did it for you and for me

And because I still believe

There aposs only one thing

That you can never give up

Never compromise on

And that aposs the real thing you need in love

Everybody aposs got a boat upon the ocean

Not everybody aposs sailing out to sea

And is there someone there for me

I aposm ready to believe

I did it for you and the boys

Because love should teach you joy

And not the imitation

That your momma and daddy tried to show you

I did it for you and for me

And because I still believe

There aposs only one thing

That you can never give up

Never compromise on

And that aposs the real thing you need in love
