Real Thing
Golden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[VERSE 1]
Truth on me, I'm sold
You bought it up with your fools gold
And everybody thought we'd be together, forever
More like to never, we fell into the stormy weather
Five times did I catch you lying,
I fibbed up once', now I'm out of line
Oh, with this love game, I'm done with trying
'Cause I ain't with her thinking I miss her
Getting all bitter, looking at a picture of us
Empty, girl tell me how you will replace me
When everyone you know is faking
Well my heart's no longer yours for the breaking, no

[CHORUS]
Oh whoa oh I need a woman
I'm sick of these old games
And I'm ready for the real thing, real thing
Oh whoa oh I need you woman
Done playing around, sick of you putting me down
And I'm ready for the real thing, real thing
R-r-real thing, real woman
R-real thing, real woman
R-real thing, real woman
If you've seen one tell her I'm looking

[VERSE 2]
So tell me everything you never told me
Since we're being honest
And I'll tell you all things that the old me had promised, for you
Never worry a thing, every dollar song I'd sing
I was thinking wedding rings, you were thinking screwing me over
But now that it's over, you lost your boyfriend,
Your best friend, investment
The trust funds, no the trust funds have gone away
'Cause I don't, I don't trust a word you say
And it's never gonna change, you're never gonna wake up
From the fantasies you made up
Don't it suck, knowing no one really loves you
More than you do, now that we're through

[CHORUS]
Oh whoa oh I need a woman
I'm sick of these old games
And I'm ready for the real thing, real thing
Oh whoa oh I need you woman
Done playing around, sick of you putting me down
And I'm ready for the real thing, real thing

[BRIDGE]
And I bet you're happy, so celebrate
Call all your girls and tell them it's a date
Hoping the club will show you love, show you love
Like what I gave to you wasn't enough oh
But no amount of mixed drinks or shots
Can replace me you've got to be crazy
Are you faded right now?
It always ends the same way
Empty cup, Advil, and a headache

Oh whoa oh I need a woman
I'm done with these old games
And I'm ready for the r-r-r-real thing

Oh whoa oh I need you woman
Done playing around, sick of you putting me down
I'm ready for the real thing, real thing
R-r-real thing, real woman
R-real thing, real woman




R-real thing, real woman
If you've seen one, tell her I'm looking

Line by Line Meaning

Truth on me, I'm sold
I've been completely honest


You bought it up with your fools gold
But you didn't value it the way I did


And everybody thought we'd be together, forever
We appeared to have a future ahead of us


More like to never, we fell into the stormy weather
But in reality, our relationship was doomed


Five times did I catch you lying,
You were untruthful on multiple occasions


I fibbed up once', now I'm out of line
And when I lied once, it was a mistake


Oh, with this love game, I'm done with trying
I'm tired of playing games in relationships


'Cause I ain't with her thinking I miss her
I don't want my ex to believe I want her back


Getting all bitter, looking at a picture of us
And feeling resentful when I see photos of our past


Empty, girl tell me how you will replace me
But ultimately, I realize that you can't replace me


When everyone you know is faking
Because everyone you associate with is disingenuous


Well my heart's no longer yours for the breaking, no
So I won't let you hurt me anymore


Oh whoa oh I need a woman
I'm in search of a genuine woman


I'm sick of these old games
Tired of the same old relationship dynamics


And I'm ready for the real thing, real thing
Ready for an authentic and meaningful relationship


So tell me everything you never told me
Let's have an honest conversation


Since we're being honest
Because honesty is important in a relationship


And I'll tell you all things that the old me had promised, for you
I'll be truthful about the promises I made before


Never worry a thing, every dollar song I'd sing
I promised to take care of you financially


I was thinking wedding rings, you were thinking screwing me over
But you weren't thinking about our future together


But now that it's over, you lost your boyfriend,
Since our breakup, you've lost your partner


Your best friend, investment
And your closest confidante


The trust funds, no the trust funds have gone away
And your financial security is now in jeopardy


'Cause I don't, I don't trust a word you say
Because I can't believe anything you tell me anymore


And it's never gonna change, you're never gonna wake up
Because I don't believe you'll ever change your ways


From the fantasies you made up
Or stop living in your own delusions


Don't it suck, knowing no one really loves you
It's a depressing realization that no one truly cares for you


More than you do, now that we're through
Not even me, who was once in love with you


And I bet you're happy, so celebrate
You might be happy now that we've broken up


Call all your girls and tell them it's a date
So go ahead and go out with your friends


Hoping the club will show you love, show you love
And hope that you can find love in all the wrong places


Like what I gave to you wasn't enough oh
When I gave you everything I had


But no amount of mixed drinks or shots
No amount of alcohol can replace me


Can replace me you've got to be crazy
You would be foolish to believe otherwise


Are you faded right now?
Are you drunk right now?


It always ends the same way
Because it always ends in disappointment


Empty cup, Advil, and a headache
You'll end up with an empty cup and a hangover


I'm done with these old games
I'm completely over these games


And I'm ready for the r-r-r-real thing
And I'm ready for a real and genuine relationship


If you've seen one, tell her I'm looking
So if you know of anyone, let them know I'm searching
