The Real Thing lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics The Real Thing lyrics A mongoose can smile at a cobra But that cobra will always be a snake Diamante can shine like a diamond But you know, like I know That rock will be fake It s the real thing The real thing Nothing but the real thing It s real You can xerox the Mona Lisa Deadpan Da Vinci in every detail Might beat customs on a home-made visa But false papers Only gets you in jail It s the real thing The real thing Nothing but the real thing It s real Life wears a smile on its face But it comes with a sting in its tail Make believe fables have their place But only a fool. Only a fool Believes fairy tales I heard all the lies that they tell ya "Phone me baby. The cheque s in the mail" Well as fantasy. It may please ya As the real thing It does nothing but fail It s the real thing The real thing Nothing but the real thing It s real It s the real thing The real thing Nothing but the real thing It s real song lyrics
