The Real Thing Lyrics - Reckless - Martina Mcbride

Artificial sweeteners, spray on tans 

I'd rather have the sugar, the sun and the sand 

Give me the real thing 

Give me the real thing 

Virtual friends, reality shows 

Put a filter on it so nobody knows 

It ain't the real thing 

It ain't the real thing 

When the smoke and mirrors 

All get clearer 

Give me what remains 

The glitz and glitter won't last forever 

Someday it'll all wash away 

We got cyber clouds and digital streams 

Sometimes I gotta shut it down 

Get outside and breathe 

The real thing 

Give me the real thing 

When the smoke and mirrors 

All get clearer 

Give me what remains 

The glitz and glitter won't last forever 

Someday it'll all wash away 

Late night calls, casual fling 

Just ain't gonna cut it 

Once we've seen 

The real thing 

We got the real thing 

Oh, the real thing, baby 

We got the real thing
