What you got, what you got, what you got, what you got
I'm lookin around
Tryin to find me one original thing
Cause I've been walkin so long
It feels just like the sales are gonna break, yeah

But everyone's lookin at TV screens
At wannabees who just imitate
But I don't wanna be that way

You think never eat words
Just wanna hear yourself talk
But when the cameras are off
You don't say nothing at all
I'm searchin both the time
And sittin it by on the 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 flippin 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 tryin to be a model in a magazine
It's no ride, no, it's just not right

You wanna talk about love
Your to whip out your head
You wanna be at the top
You gotta learn how to stand
Your lookin both for me and lookin 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

(I need) Something original
(I need) 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, you're beautiful, 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
