ABC – The Real Thing Şarkı Sözleri

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
