About the Artist
Lyrics
I went out lookin' for a real thing Didn't notice it was hangin' by the door Didn't leave a message or anything Yeah, she doesn't wanna wait for me no more Walkin' in the city with a real thing No one tells you what the real thing is for Makin' up a story for Yeah, you spilled the real thing all over the floor Drivin' on the highway from the old place Got a license for the real thing on the dash Hopin' I can make it through to April On whatever's left of all this label cash No one ever thought I was the real thing There were certain tests I thought that I would pass (mm) Maybe when you're older you can give me that
