Why do you grow that way leaning
Out from under all the other trees?
Try to find a window to the sunlight?
Are you hoping that he sees?
Are you hoping that he sees?
It's funny, like the way we are as people
Always want to catch the eye of a star
Just to get a nod and a smile
To say you're going to go so far
You're the real thing
You're the real thing
You're the real thing
Marianna grew up in the movies
In the magic of a moving picture show
Always, she was the entertainer
She made a dark room glow
Especially, she danced for her daddy
How she loved to see the twinkle in his eye
Take his mind off all the money
A bright light in a dark hole time
You're the real thing
You're the real thing
You're the real thing
