I've Got the Real Thing

I've got the girl that got up and move for me now
I've got the girl that got up and grooved
I've got secured in the palm of my hand now
I want y'all to know that I ain't playing, yeah

Oh, I've got the real thing, yeah, now
Oh, I've got the real thing, yeah, now
I've got the real thing
I've got the real thing
It ain't no dream, now

I ain't got no picture on the wall
But I've got the girl that answers when I call
Oh, she ain't no beauty queen
But when I want her, she's always on the scene
That's why I know now, yeah

Oh, I got the real thing, yeah
I've got the real thing
I've got the real thing
It ain't no dream, now

Marvin Gaye and Tammy said it
Syl Johnson even read it, now
There ain't nothing like a real thing
So much better than a dream, now
That's why, whoa, that's why I know
I've got a girl here that's lovin' me so, yeah

I've got the real thing
I've got the real thing
It ain't no dream, now
Listen, huh

When other guys try to make a date
She tell them to wait and see, now
Then she come knocking on my door
To see if it's alright with me

Oh, that's why I know now, yeah
Oh, I've got the real thing, yeah
I've got the real thing
I've got the real thing
It ain't no dream, now, oh

I've got the real thing
Oh, I've got the real thing
It ain't no dream, now
