The Real Thing

1. I've seen your face a thousand times
Have all your stories memorized
I've kissed your lips a million ways
But I still love to have you around.

I've held you too many times to count
I think I know you inside out
And we're together most days
But I still love to have you around.

You're the one I want and it's not just phase
You're the one I trust, our love is the real thing.

[Chorus:]
Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I'm happiest when we spend time.

2. You're a salty water ocean wave
You knock me down, you kiss my face
I know the storms will always come
But I still love to have you around.

Heaven knows what will come next
So emotional, you're so complex
A rollercoaster built to crash
But I still love to have you around.

You're the one I want and it's not just phase
You're the one I trust, our love is the real thing.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
It's you there when I close my eyes
And you in the morning
I never thought you'd still be mine
Or I'd really need to have you around.

[Chorus]
