John Anderson - The Real Deal Lyrics






I kept putting it off like I always do
Had one clean sock but a man needs two
So I drove on down to the wash 'n wear
I swear it was a hundred and ten there

She was folding her clothes by the coke machine
Hottest thing I'd ever seen
Cotton dress clinging to her like a glove
It took all of a minute to fall in love

I'd a bet you a hundred that I'd never find
That one in a million
That one of a kind
I was standing still, spinning my wheels
When I came face to face with the real deal

You're gonna need some help, she said with a smile
Or, boy, you're gonna be here a while
If you pay for dinner we can call it square
I took her hand and we took it from there

I'd a bet you a hundred that I'd never find
That one in a million
That one of a kind
I was standing still, spinning my wheels
When I came face to face with the real deal

Love's gonna do what love's gonna do
You can't make love happen to you
I was lookin' too hard for love that true
The real deal came out of the blue

I'd a bet you a hundred that I'd never find
That one in a million
That one of a kind
I was standing still, spinning my wheels
When I came face to face with the real deal

Now I know how good it feels
To come face to face with the real deal

    The river nile, in Egypt has a lot to answer for, a Black Egyptian population enslaved in Europe, and they lie about the History of the world, but whats is kicking in, the reality and the acient memories is coming back, and thats why they want to lie about our history, its lies falling on deaf ears. The Facts is self evident.

    All those thumbs down are from mumble rappers and their low IQ illiterate fan boi’s and all individuals who have no idea/clue what real talent is and what real music sounds like...

  33. M.... ....

    I'm sure that song had nothing to do with white people plus John Lennon died in the 80s this song was a 60's song.

  34. T.... L....

    Just shows the talent of afro Americans, takes you away from that gangsta rap of hate, pimping, drug hustling that is pushing away the community into darkness.

  35. C.... J....

  93. L.... K....

    I’m finally afraid to die...being black worried about violence most of my life subconsciously afraid of this stigmatic skin of mine being the reason I erased and turned into a memory because some racist person exercising their privilege card. I’m so afraid of the concentration called jail because when it goes down ...The prisoners will be the first. Hard to be optimistic but I must continue even after knowing so many of us are ignorant to possibilities....I finally love life.
