[Intro – soft piano, finger snaps only, lead vocal upfront warm] Mmm yeah Feel that groove [Verse 1 – bouncy bassline enters, clean guitar licks, piano stabs, lead vocal confident and sassy, background hums underneath] Late night lights hit the block just right You sliding through the crowd with that confident stride Eyes locked on me slow smile on your face Got me wondering if you can keep up with my pace Smooth talker but I like what I see Question is can you handle what's inside of me City lights flashing music bumping low You moving closer stealing the show [Pre-Chorus – drums tighten, bass walks up, harmonies enter behind lead] I can feel the tension building in the air One wrong move and I might disappear [Chorus – full band hits, piano stabs punching, guitar licking between phrases, group harmonies answering every line, lead vocal rides on top] Give me that real thing something I can hold on to Make it last all night show me what you gonna do Step into my world baby take your time If the vibe is right you might change my mind Real thing real thing yeah that's what I need No games no rush just you and me Real thing real thing can you bring the heat Come correct and sweep me off my feet [Verse 2 – groove pulls back slightly, congas added, lead vocal more intimate, background harmonies softer underneath breathing with the beat] We talking dreams while the bassline rides You got ambitions yeah you got that drive Not just words I need to see the proof Show me actions baby show me the truth Laughing over drinks feeling that spark You got potential lighting up the dark But I've been burned before so I'm playing it cool Impress me slow break all my rules [Pre-Chorus – snare gets snappier, harmonies tighten behind lead vocal] I can feel the tension building in the air One wrong move and I might disappear [Chorus – fuller than first chorus, extra harmony layer added, guitar more prominent, MPC drums snapping harder on the 2 and 4] Give me that real thing something I can hold on to Make it last all night show me what you gonna do Step into my world baby take your time If the vibe is right you might change my mind Real thing real thing yeah that's what I need No games no rush just you and me Real thing real thing can you bring the heat Come correct and sweep me off my feet [Bridge – full band drops to piano and bass only, finger snaps return, lead vocal raw and close mic, no reverb, just voice and groove breathing] If you're really feeling this Don't just say it show me Let the music talk [Bridge – harmonies slowly layer back in under the lead, building] Real thing Real thing Show me [Final Chorus – everything returns harder, group harmonies fully answering each phrase call and response style, lead vocal ad libs over the top of the written lines with attitude and soul] Give me that real thing something I can hold on to all night long Make it last make it strong Real thing real thing yeah that's what I need No games no rush just you and me Real thing real thing can you bring the heat Come correct and sweep me off my feet [Outro – piano riff loops, harmonies layer and fade, lead vocal sighs and ad libs over fading groove] Yeah That real thing Mmm Real thing
