Until The Real Thing Comes Along
Billie Holiday
I’d work for you I’d slave for you I’d be a beggar or a knave for you; And 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 its worth for you; If that isn’t love it will have to do until the real thing comes along Bridge one: 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 would cry for you even sigh for you tear the stars down from the sky for you If that isn’t love it’ll have to do until the real thing comes along. I would walk on burning coals for you I would drive the Chrysler leave the Rolls for you If that isn’t love it’ll have to do until the real thing comes along. I would try to hit high ven punch out Mister T for you If that isn’t love it’ll have to do uUntil the real thing comes along. Bridge two: There’s not a thing that you can’t ask of me go on demand any task from me You want the moon for a lavalier all you’ve got to do is nibble on my ear. I would rob steal beg borrow and lie for you. Lay my little body down and die for you If that ain’t love if that ain’t love if that ain’t love it’ll have to do Until the real thing comes along.
