Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing like the real thing

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing like the real thing

I see your picture hangin' on the wall

It can't see or come to me when I call your name

I realize it's just a picture in a frame

I read your letters when you're not near

But they don't move me

And they don't groove me like when I hear

Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing like the real thing

No other sound is quite the same as your name

No touch can do half as much to make me feel better

So let's stay together

Together, baby, together, together, together

I got some memories to look back on

And though they help me when you phone

I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing like the real thing

There ain't nothing like the real thing

There ain't nothing like the real thing

There ain't nothing like the real thing

There ain't nothing like the real thing
