Until The Real Thing Comes Along

Natalie Cole · Other Songs - Natalie Cole

I'd work for you, I'd slave for you

I'd be a beggar or a knave for you

If that isn't love, it will have to do

Until the real thing comes along



I'd gladly move the earth for you

To prove my love, dear, and it's worth for you

If that isn't love, it will have to do

Until the real thing comes along



With all the words, dear, at my command

I just can't make you understand

I'll always love you, darling, come what may

My heart is yours, what more can I say?



I'd sigh for you, I'd cry for you

I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you

If that isn't love, it will have to do

Until the real thing comes along



I'll always love you, darling, come what may

My heart is yours, what more can I say?

I'd sigh for you, I'd cry for you

I'd tear the stars down from the sky for you



If that isn't love, it will have to do

Until the real thing comes along

Until the real thing comes along
