Lyrics for My Baby Is the Real Thing

Ain't nothin' wrong with my baby No no, that a little lovin' Couldn't work it out, yeah Ain't nothin' wrong with my baby Mmhm, that a little lovin' Couldn't work it out All she needed was a little more time So I gladly gave it up Just to see what I'd find, oh yeah And I found love in the first degree Now that's what my baby That's what she means to me, oh yeah Well. (My baby is the real thing) (My baby is the real thing) My baby is the real thing (My baby is the real thing) (My baby is the real thing) My baby is the real thing Ain't nothin' wrong with my baby Mmhm, that a little lovin' Couldn't work it out, oh yeah Ain't nothin' wrong with my baby No no, not much demandin' We just work it out Just hangin' out all night long And she's there waiting With open arms, oh yeah Well, I found my love in the first degree Now that's what my honey child That's what she means to me, oh yeah Hey, hey, hey, hey (My baby is the real thing) (My baby is the real thing) My baby is the real thing (My baby is the real thing) (My baby is the real thing) My baby is the real thing Ain't nothin' wrong with my baby No no, that a little lovin' Couldn't work it out, oh yeah Hey, hey, hey, hey Ain't nothin' wrong with my baby
