[Verse 1:]
Came so close that I could touch it,
Even had the ring on my left hand.
I was so caught up in thinking that I finally found the right man,
That I could'ntsee that ya love for me wasn't equal.
And you didn't wanna kiss me or hold me in front of other people.
[Bridge:]
I almost took it for a priest fear,
But now I see there's no use keeping ya.
I know I can't make you love me.
So there's no use chasing ya no more.
[Chorus:]
Now I see when you've got the real thing.
You shouldn't have to try that hard.
You should wanna be where you are.
Now I see when you've got the real thing.
You shouldn't have to try that hard.
You should wanna be where you are.
[Verse 2:]
My friends said they could see it.
Knew from the beginning you were no good,
But whene your in love your so blind,
And you can't see the things that you should.
But I don't regret havin been with you,
Cause I learned that
Never give ya love up all at once.
Always gotta earn that.
[Bridge:]
I almost took it for a priest fear,
But now I see there's no use keeping ya.
I know I can't make you love me.
So there's no use chasing ya no more.
[Chorus:]
Now I see when you've got the real thing.
You shouldn't have to try that hard.
You should wanna be where you are. {You should wanna be where you are.}
Now I see when you've got the real thing.
You shouldn't have to try that hard. {You shouldn't have to, yeah yeaah yeah}
You should wanna be where you are.
[Verse 3:]
Don't feel bad for me,
Cause thanks to you
Baby now I see what a real man should do.
And I know he'll be nothing like you.
And I'll never have to cry {no}.
No more No more No more.
And he'll never ever lie.
For sure I know it for sure.
And he won't act different,
When he's around his boys.
He'll show me much love no matter how much.
I'll be the one he adores.
[Chorus:]
Now I see when you've got the real thing.
You shouldn't have to try that hard.
You should wanna be where you are.
Now I see when you've got the real thing.
You shouldn't have to try that hard.
You should wanna be where you are.
