The Real Thing lyrics
A mongoose can smile at a cobra
But that cobra will always be a snake
Diamante can shine like a diamond
But you know, like I know
That rock will be fake
It s the real thing
The real thing
Nothing but the real thing
It s real
You can xerox the Mona Lisa
Deadpan Da Vinci in every detail
Might beat customs on a home-made visa
But false papers
Only gets you in jail
It s the real thing
The real thing
Nothing but the real thing
It s real
Life wears a smile on its face
But it comes with a sting in its tail
Make believe fables have their place
But only a fool. Only a fool
Believes fairy tales
I heard all the lies that they tell ya
"Phone me baby. The cheque s in the mail"
Well as fantasy. It may please ya
As the real thing
It does nothing but fail
It s the real thing
The real thing
Nothing but the real thing
It s real
It s the real thing
The real thing
Nothing but the real thing
It s real
