The Real Thing - January 12, 2023 - Robin lee Field

In spite of it all you’re still standing strong
In spite of it all you know right from wrong
In spite of it all you gave what you could
In spite of it all like steel you stood
In spite of it all the danger you faced
In spite of it all you sure were brave
In a world of fake stay the real thing babe

In spite of it all and harm that was done
In spite of it all you old son of a gun
In spite of it all the tricks with your trust
In spite of it all you left in dust
In spite of it all the more that you age
In spite of it all there's a streak of rage
In a world of fake stay the real thing babe

The real thing
Nothing artificial about you
There’s no substitution for you
I can see clear right through you
Like glass on a lake
Nothing superficial to disguise you
There’s no shallowness to stop you
I can’t even see the depth of you
You run deeper then an earthquake
Stay the real thing, real thing, real thing, stay the real thing babe

In spite of it all the makeup you wear
In spite of it all tinsel town big hair
In spite of it all if you glam and dress up
In spite of it all if you don't dress up much
In spite of it all it’s your soul and your heart
In spite of it all that sets you apart
In a world of fake be the real thing babe

The real thing
Nothing imitation about you, there’s no simulation for you
Even if they clone and ghost you don't you know you own the trademark
Nothing robotic can make you, no duplication can replace you
No one can even erase you that’s how true and blue you are
So stay the real thing, real thing, real thing, stay the real thing babe

In spite of it all money is still king
In spite of it all honey you can leave the ring
In spite of it all I know you’ve had enough
In spite of it all hang rough & tough
In spite of it all there’s so much at stake
In spite of it all in this world of fake
Stay the real thing real thing stay the real thing babe
Stay the real thing babe
Stay the real thing babe
