KENNY LOGGINS - The Real Thing lyrics
rate meAmanda, I know what you're thinking,<br>You and I have much to say,<br>And you've been making me crazy,<br>Trying to understand<br>But it's impossible at your age.<br><br>I know I said I'll always try,<br>But you're going to bed alone again tonight,<br>And you lie there in the dark and wonder why.<br><br>I did it for you, and the boys,<br>Because love should teach you joy,<br>And not the imitation,<br>That your momma and daddy tried to show you.<br>I did it for you, and for me,<br>And because I still believe,<br>There's only one thing,<br>You can never give up,<br>Never compromise on,<br>And that's the real thing you need in love.<br><br>You're so afraid your life is over,<br>And nothing I can say can change your mind.<br>How can anybody be so selfish,<br>And treat you all so cruel,<br>The woman screamed at me and cried.<br>I'll always hold you in my soul,<br>And I'm never going to leave you all alone<br>But your daddy doesn't live here anymore.<br><br>I did it for you, and the boys,<br>Because love should teach you joy,<br>And not the imitation,<br>That your momma and daddy tried to show you.<br>I did it for you, and for me,<br>And because I still believe,<br>There's only one thing,<br>That you can never give up,<br>Never compromise on,<br>And that's the real thing you need in love.<br><br>Everybody's got a boat upon the ocean,<br>Not everybody's sailing out to sea,<br>And is there someone there for me? <br>I'm ready to believe.<br><br>I did it for you, and the boys,<br>Because love should teach you joy,<br>And not the imitation,<br>That your momma and daddy tried to show you.<br>I did it for you, and for me,<br>And because I still believe,<br>There's only one thing,<br>That you can never give up,<br>Never compromise on,<br>And that's the real thing you need in love.
