Feels like this happens every time (Every time) [Pre-Chorus] And I'm over all these four-day love affairs Baby, it's not fair I'm worthy of a lot and I'm aware So, baby, if you care You gotta love me, gotta love me 'til you don't know how You gotta love me, only love me and nobody else [Chorus] 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing will do 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing with you 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing will do 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing [Verse 2] A never-ending quest, it's so frustrating I keep mistaking boys for men I won't be settling, no, not for anything 'Cause I need one-hundred percent [Pre-Chorus] And I'm over all these four-day love affairs Baby, it's not fair I'm worthy of a lot and I'm aware So baby, if you care You gotta love me, gotta love me 'til you don't know how You gotta love me, only love me and nobody else [Chorus] 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing will do 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing with you 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing will do 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing [Bridge] I'm looking for it I'll know it when I have it I'm looking for it I'll know it when I find it [Pre-Chorus] You gotta love me, gotta love me 'til you don't know how You gotta love me, only love me and nobody else [Chorus] 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing will do 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing with you 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing will do 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing [Outro] 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing will do 'Cause I'm looking for the real thing Only the real thing
