The Real Thing

Terri Clark

I've been looking for a way to fill this empty place 
With everything from poetry to love in cyberspace 
I contemplate my future, I analyze my past 
I twist myself up like a pretzel in my yoga class 
I find attraction in small distractions 

It's a piece that I've been missing 
A voice when I really listen 
A groove that's going to make me sing 
A feeling only love can bring 
I'm ready for the real thing 

Meditating 
Medicating, looking for a fix 
Now I'm getting to the bottom of my bag of tricks 
Trying to catch a break with each ticking of the clock 
Searching for the prize inside my cracker jack box 
Something to save me 
From all this waiting 

It's a piece that I've been missing 
A voice when I really listen 
A groove that's going to make me sing 
A feeling only love can bring 
I'm ready for the real thing 

I've looked around and I've discovered 
Nothing can touch me like a lover 

It's a piece that I've been missing 
A voice when I really listen 
A groove that's going to make me sing 
A feeling only love can bring 
I'm ready for the real thing
