[Verse 1] Still awake and I'm feeling your scar start to fade
When you're not in my arms every day
I was holding back tears face to face
Oh, what can I say?
 
[Pre-Chorus] Oh, its sounds like the ocean to me
No, I don't need the real thing
Oh, your bond to the woman in me is free
No, I don't need the real thing
Don't need the real thing
 
[Chorus] No, I don't need the real thing
Don't need the real thing
 
[Verse 2] We were late
All your friends at the bar celebrating
Heard they kick in your car, double palmed
Kept them waiting four years for a statement
No, I couldn't replace you
 
[Pre-Chorus] You coulda cut me open
You coulda made me cry
Oh, it sounds like the ocean to me
No, I don't need the real thing
Oh, your bond to the woman in me is free
No, I don't need the real thing
Don't need the real thing
 
[Chorus] No, I don't need the real thing
Don't need the real thing
No, I don't need the real thing
Don't need the real thing
 
[Bridge] You coulda cut me open
You coulda made me cry
Oh, it sounds like the ocean to me
No, I don't need the real thing
Now your bond to the woman in me is free
No, I don't need the real thing
Don't need the real thing
 
[Chorus] No, I don't need the real thing
Don't need the real thing
No, I don't need the real thing
Don't need the real thing
