I think I met somebody

Oh, wait a minute

He ain't ready for it, oh...

Why's it so hard to find someone to treat me right?

Feels like this happens every time (every time)

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.

'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.

A never ending quest, it's so frustratin'

I keep mistaking boys for men

I won't be settlin', no, not for anything

'cause I need one-hundred percent.

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.

'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 with you.

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.

You gotta love me, gotta love me 'til you don't know how

You gotta love me, only love me and nobody else.

'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 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.
