Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dolled up to the nines, you got the eyes
Locked on tall and dark
Well, he's mighty pretty but I'll bet he ain't worried
A bit about your heart
He's a real Casanova but I think I know you
Just a little bit better than that
You need a real love that you can't get enough of
Not some Romeo act
[Chorus]
But if you're looking for the real deal
What you doing looking at him?
He ain't nothing but a cheap thrill
He can't love you like I will
Let go of your heart girl
Take mine and give it a whirl
If you're looking for love
You're looking at the real deal
[Instrumental]
He's a smooth talkin' fellow
He's gonna tell ya what your heart desires
He's a real go getter and you outta know better
Than to think about playing with fire
And if you ask me, honey
What you need is a good old fashioned romance
I'm thinkin' maybe that you need
Baby ought give me love a little chance
[Chorus]
If you're looking for the real deal
What are you doing looking at him?
He ain't nothing but a cheap thrill
He can't love you like I will
Let go of your heart girl
Take mine and give it a whirl
If you're looking for love
You're looking at the real deal
[Chorus]
But if you're looking for the real deal
What are you doing looking at him?
He ain't nothing but a cheap thrill
He can't love you like I will
Let go of your heart girl
Take mine and give it a whirl
If you're looking for love
You're looking at the real deal
[Outro]
If you're looking for love
You're looking at the real deal
[Instrumental]
You're looking at the real deal
