Not the emblem, not the emblem
I said those words, yeah, and I meant them
I meant them, ooh
Give me the real thing
Give me the real thing
Not the emblem
Empty envelopes when
Empty envelopes when I send them, ooh

I said, I said, I said, I said
We've got the real thing

Not the emblem, not the emblem
We've got the real thing
We've got the real thing
Not the emblem, not the emblem

Ooh, ooh, ooh...

Keep your promises and defend them
Defend them
Words and choruses you transcend them
Transcend them
Keep your diamond rings
I don't want anything
Save your words and cards
Don't need paper hearts

I said, I said, I said, I said
We've got the real thing
We've got the real thing
Not the emblem, not the emblem
We've got the real thing
We've got the real thing
Not the emblem, not the emblem

Give me the real thing
Give me the real thing
Not the emblem, not the emblem
