Waiting for the Real Thing

作曲：Binh Van Nong

作词：Binh Van Nong

You stand there with a smile offering a prize

Wrapped in silken lace hiding in your eyes

I want to believe everything is real

But I know the cost of the way I feel

Careful with the ribbon careful with the ribbon

Slowly now I open

Is it just a **

Is it just a lie

Make it worth the waiting make it worth the waiting

Underneath the paper

Give me something true

Give me all of you

Last time was a game just an empty shell

Bought a pretty box living in a hell

Now the colors change shining in the night

Waiting for the heat waiting for the light

Careful with the ribbon careful with the ribbon

Slowly now I open

Is it just a **

Is it just a lie

Make it worth the waiting make it worth the waiting

Underneath the paper

Give me something true

Give me all of you

The lock is turning turning the hinges moving moving

My pulse is rising rising am I losing

Am I losing

Don't let me down down down don't let me down

Careful with the ribbon careful with the ribbon

Slowly now I open

Is it just a **

Is it just a lie

Make it worth the waiting make it worth the waiting

Underneath the paper

Give me something true

Give me all of you

Opening it slow opening it slow

Tell me what is inside

No more place to hide

Open it slow keep it real for me

Open it slow show me what I see

Slowly now

Slowly now

Slowly now
