The Real Thing
©2006 Lisa Horan

Wrinkle cream
That's supposed to turn back the hands of time
When all it does is drain my wallet
And accentuate my lines

Crystal clear deoderant
They claim doesn't make a mess
But all it does is leave white streaks
As soon as I get dressed

Pre Chorus
Why is it that nothing seems
To do what it says
Why is it that hardly anyone knows
What honesty is

At least I have one thing
In this life I can count on

Chorus
You're the real thing
The bona fide sincere thing
Tried and true and tested
You're the one real thing I know

You're the real thing
My one consistency
in a world full of smoke and mirrors
I need something to believe

And I'm glad that I have you
Cause you're the real thing

Miracle tanning spray
They say will give me that perfect glow
When all it does is make me look
Like I belong in a freak show

Revolutionary diet foods
That promise to taste great
When they taste just like cardboard
And don't even help me to lose weight

Pre Chorus
