Real Thing Lyrics by Lisa Stansfield

Real Thing

never mind the stars in the sky
never mind the when and the why
got a feeling higher than high
this is the real thing

no more living in shame
and I'm not gonna run or gonna hide away
no more telling all those lies
it's been too long
no more living in chains
no I don't give a damn
what the people say
there's no use holding back desire
we've burnt out finger
now let's jump into flames

[chorus]
never mind the stars in the sky
never mind the when and the why
got a feeling higher than high
this is the real thing
never mind the rain and the storm
we'll keep each other warm
we got something stronger than strong
this is the real thing

gonna walk out hand in hand
so let them criticize
'cos they don't understand
we've got nothing to hide
it's just love
I've had enough of shy
so let's go out and show them
what we have inside
there's no use in holding back desire
we've burnt our fingers
now let's jump into the fire

[chorus]

[bridge]
never mind the stars in the sky baby
never mind the when and the why baby
never mind the stars and the sky baby
'cos I've got feeling that higher than high

[chorus]

[bridge]

never mind the stars in the sky
never mind the when and the why
got a feeling higher than high
this is the real thing
never mind what people may say
they can't take this away
let them try, I say hey
this is the real thing
