One Original Thing

(album: The Day Has Come - 2006)

What you got, what you got, what you got, what you got
I'm looking around trying to find me one original thing
Cause I've been walking so long it feels just like these heels are gonna break, yeah
But everyone's looking at TV screens
At wannabees who just imitate
But I don't wanna be that way
You're faking every word
Just wanna hear yourself talk
But when the cameras are off you don't say nothing at all
I'm searching both for diamonds hidden in a pile of stones
Oh, I, need
One original thing
Baby, I need an original thing
Something unusual to give me some wings
Show me one true original thing
Yeah, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got,
What you got
I'm flipping through channels but I'm still flipping thoughts in my mind
How could it be that something so sweet is so hard to find, yeah
It seems like everyone's trying to be a model in a magazine
It's no ride, no, it's just not right
You wanna talk about love, do it without your hand
You wanna be at the top, you gotta learn how to stand
You're looking both for me and looking for somebody who knows
Oh, I, need
One original thing
Baby, I need an original thing
Something unusual to give me some wings
Show me one true original thing
Yeah, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got,
What you got
Something original, something original, original
Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
I need one original thing
Show me one true original thing
I need one original thing
Baby, I need an original thing
Something unusual, to give me some wings
Show me one true original thing
Yeah, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got,
What you got
What you got
