Alexia (real name Alessia Aquilani) was born in La Spezia (Italy) under the sign of Taurus, (to which she can probably attribute her great drive for success!). As a small child she began singing in various spots around her hometown. Her family, noticing her singing and dancing talents at such an early age, decided to point her in the direction of a musical career. It was during this time that Alexia entered and won more than fifty competitions, achieving the title of "Little wonder". At the age of seven, she began studying piano and voice at school.

The Real Thing Lyrics

Alexia

I've got the real thing, here by my side
Love, makes the world go crazy
And I think I'm crazy for you
Need someone who'll save me
And you know I'm talking to you
Take me to your heart
When it's cold and dark
I just want to feel the magic
Hold me in your arms
I've got the real thing, here by my side
Someone who needs me, holding me tight
I've got the real thing
Time, takes your life and chances
But we've all got so much to give
If our love is precious
Now I know it's time to beleive
Every word you say
Shows me that you care
I just want to see
That you're the answer to my prayer
I've got the real thing, here by my side
Someone who needs me, holding me tight
I've got the real thing
Someone who needs me
Somebody does,
I've got the real thing (here by my side), here by my side (I need somebody)
(oh) Someone who needs me (here by my side), holding me tight (I need someone)
I've got the real thing (here by my side), here by my side (I've got somebody)
(oh) Someone who needs me (here by my side), holding me tight (holding me tight)
