Lyrics:

The spark of light you take for granted
Righteous light and disenchanted
But you both said you'd call it livin'
Her heart undressed that's what she's givin'

CHORUS:
Better hold on to your baby
Don't let her love slip away
She's the real one
The real one

Here is your big picture postcard
There ain't no big picture look hard
Can't you see the little pieces
And see her smile like Mona Lisas

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
The shift in your hoots
If you fell in cahoots
With those girls in their space suits shifting further and further away
You'd given up hope
When she threw you a jump rope and said
'Look up from your microscope boy to come on out and play'

Love is here and she's delighted
Love is here and you're invited
Party lights and wishing fountains
Flying kites or moving mountains

CHORUS
She's the real one
The real one
The real one
