Alexia by name of Alessia Aquilani (born May 19, 1967) is an Italian singer. Before recording in Italian in the 2000s, she made records in English in the late 1990s. Many of those were international hits. Before her solo career she was the vocalist of Ice Mc.
She started working for Italian producer Roberto Zanetti (better known as Robyx) in 1990, as a back-up singer to several of Zanetti's eurodance acts, including Double You and Ice MC. In 1994, the whole world danced with the songs Think About the Way, which was later included in the soundtrack of the movie Trainspotting, It's a Rainy Day and Russian Roulette. In 1995 she had her first solo single, Me and You, on Zanetti's label, ZYX Music. This was followed by a variety of singles which were collected, along with original tracks, in her first album, Fan Club, published in 1997 by Sony Music's subsidiary Dance Pool. Summer is Crazy, Number One and Uh La La La are the most popular tracks from this album.

In her second album, The Party, Alexia started moving from eurodance to pop music. The most successful song, The Music I Like, is a clear eurodance track though. Happy is the title of her third album.

In 2002, she abandoned eurodance and started singing almost exclusively in Italian. She made her first appearance at the Sanremo Music Festival in 2002, coming second with Dimmi Come, and returned the following year, winning with "Per Dire di No".

In Italy, her most successful album was 2004's Gli Occhi Grandi Della Luna (Moon's eyes) which features the international hit You Need Love written by Diane Warren.

Alexia has sold over 6,000,000 albums worldwide.

The Real Thing
Alexia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got the real thing
Here by my side
Someone who loves me
Treating me right

Love makes the world go crazy
And I think I'm crazy for you
L need someone who'll save me

And you know I'm talking to you

Take me to your heart
When it's cold and dark
I just wanna feel the magic
Hold me in your arms

I've got the real thing
Here by my side
Someone who needs me
Holding me tight

Time takes your life and chances
And we all got so much to give
If real love is precious
Now I know it's time to believe

Every word you say
Show me that you care

I just want to say that
You're the answer to my prayer
