I've got the real thing, here by my side
  
   Love, makes the world go crazy
   And I think I'm crazy for you
   I need someone who'll save me
   And you know I'm talking to you
  
   Take me to your heart
   When it's cold and dark
   I just want to feel the magic
   Hold me in your arms
  
   I've got the real thing, here by my side
   Someone who needs me, holding me tight
   I've got the real thing
  
   Time, takes your life and chances
   But we've all got so much to give
   If real love is precious
   Now I know it's time to believe
  
   Every word you say
   Shows me that you care
   I just want to say
   That you're the answer to my prayer
  
   I've got the real thing, here by my side
   Someone who needs me, holding me tight
  
   I've got the real thing
   Someone who loves me
  
   Somebody does,
   I've got the real thing (here by my side), here by my side (I need somebody)
   (oh) Someone who needs me (here by my side), holding me tight (I need someone)
   I've got the real thing (here by my side), here by my side (I've got somebody)
   (oh) Someone who needs me (here by my side), holding me tight (holding me tight)
