I Need A Real Good Thing

Another night alone staring at the walls

Waiting for the phone to ring but no one calls

Talking heads ramble on the evening news

I couldn't think of anything I wanted to do

I was calling it a night and heading up to bed

When a thought popped in my head

I need a real good thing

Need a real good thing

I know if I could find it that would be okay

I need a real good thing in a real bad way

Oh, heading out the door and I hailed a cab

Driver pulled up and he sure looked mad

He said I'm doing what I can just to make ends meet

Working three jobs, not getting sleep

I know exactly what I need to get ahead

And this is what he said

I need a real good thing

Need a real good thing

I know if I could find it that would be okay

I need a real good thing in a real bad way

Finally found a club that had a smoking band

The joint was jumping, barely had a place to stand

Suddenly I noticed she was next to me

Turned around and smiled, I could hardly breathe

It was almost more than I could say

When I heard her say

I need a real good thing

Need a real good thing

I know if I could find it that would be okay

I need a real good thing in a real bad way

Ask around enough and I bet you'd find

Everybody feels that way from time to time

I need a real good thing

Need a real good thing

I know if I could find it that would be okay

I need a real good thing in a real bad way

A real good thing

Need a real good thing

I know if I could find it that would be okay

I need a real good thing in a real bad way

Oh yeah

In a bad way

I know if I could find it that would be okay

I need a real good thing in a real bad way
