The Real Thing Lyrics - The Shoop Shoop Song - Betty Everett

1,2, 1,2,3 uh 

Doo da doo, m doo da do ba do do do 

Doo da doo, m doo da do ba do do do 

Looking forward to seein' you 

But it's been such a long, long time 

Looking forward to feelin' your 

Love, its been so heavy on my mind 

On my mind, all the time 

On my mind 

Had a chance to look forward 

To be part of your loving my dreams 

But I can't be happy with 

Fantasizing instead of the real thing 

The real thing, not my dreams 

The real thing 

There are no words that can express the way I feel today 

Cos I feel today, like no other day, longing more and more for your loving 

There are no songs that I can sing to ease my troubled mind 

Cos my troubled mind will be troubled blue 

Until you say you're coming home to me, hooo, hooo 

Let me hear you say baby, let me hear you say the words 

Sing your love in a hurry 

Send it's melody via love bird 

A love bird, send your word, 

By a love bird 

There are no words that can express the way I feel today 

Cos I feel today, like no other day, longing more and more for your loving 

There is no other someone that can ease my aching heart 

Cos my aching heart told my troubled mind, the only remedy to this pain is your love 

Let me hear you say baby, everything's gonna be alright 

Stop my heart from aching 

Stop my eyes from crying through the night 

Through the night, I won't cry 

Through the night 

Doo, doo doo, doo doo doo doo 

The real thing, not my dreams, 

The real thing, not my dreams 

The real thing, not my dreams 

The real thing
