DHot and cold like an Aold hearth stone
ENot so skilled at the Dart of making friends
DFolding up when the Apressure’s on
EEveryone knows when Dsomething’s going wrong

But Dyou’ve got the real stuff
AYou’ve got the real stuff
EYour stuff is real
Only Dyou know how that Afeels
DYou’ve got the real stuff
AYou’ve got the real stuff
EYour stuff is real
Only Dyou know how that Afeels
