| Let’s get to the heart of the matter now
|
| Of what’s goin' on
|
| One minute you tell me you love me
|
| The next I wake up and you’re gone
|
| I’m getting your signals all crossed up
|
| And I can’t tune in
|
| I thought that, babe, you were my lover
|
| But now you’re not even my friend
|
| You kept me waiting for the real thing
|
| So I’m leaving you alone
|
| You’re not even worth the paper
|
| That these words wer written on
|
| You kept me waiting for th real thing all along
|
| Let’s get to the root of the matter now
|
| Is this how you feel?
|
| You had me believing the whole time
|
| That our love was true and for real
|
| It’s all coming out in the wash now
|
| That you played a fool
|
| And now that the whole town is talking
|
| There’s ain’t nothin' left I can do
|
| You kept me waiting for the real thing
|
| So I’m leaving you alone
|
| You’re not even worth the paper
|
| That these words were written on
|
| I don’t want you back, I just want you gone
|
| Thought you had me girl but you were wrong
|
| I was waiting for the real thing all along
|
| And I’m waiting
|
| And I’m waiting for the real thing
|
| I’ve been waiting for the real thing all along
|
| But now I’m here chasin' myself back to find out what went wrong
|
| You kept me waiting for the real thing
|
| So I’m leaving you alone
|
| You’re not even worth the paper
|
| That these words were written on
|
| You kept me waiting for the real thing
|
| So I’m leaving you alone
|
| I don’t want you back, I just want you gone
|
| Thought you had me girl but you were wrong
|
| I don’t need the show, you can hit the road
|
| This has got to stop, grab your shit and go
|
| I’ve been waiting for the real thing all along |
