Osmond Chapman Orchestra - I Need A Real Good Thing Lyrics

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"
