[Verse 1:]
I wanna say thank you (thank you)
You've been more than just a man
You've really been a friend
And I wanna say thank you (thank you)
You put me to the test
When I know you could've left me behind
When I feel like I'm knocked back off my feet
And I swear I'm all alone
You're the one who carries me
Simple things like giving me your peace
You're strong enough to be
Exactly what I need
[Chorus: x2]
This is the real thing
The real thing about us
Welcome to the world
[Verse 2:]
Sometimes it's just so dark
And I can't see past my hand
But you're solid as a rock
You're everything I love
And I done all that I can
You told me still stand
When it's said and done
I am just what I am
[Bridge 1:]
So much of who we are
Is from who taught us how to love
So much of who we are
Is from who first taught us how to love
[Chorus: x4]
This is the real thing
The real thing about us
Welcome to the world
[Bridge 2:]
Maybe we'll make it til breakfast [x3]
[Chorus: x4]
This is the real thing
The real thing about us
Welcome to the world
