Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing, honey

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

I've got your picture hanging on the wall

But 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

They don't groove me like when I hear

Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

I play my games of fantasy

I pretend but I'll know in reality

I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me

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

I got some memories to look back on

Though they help when you're gone, I'm well aware

That nothing can take your place of you being there

So glad we got the real thing, baby

So glad we got the real thing, talk to me

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real

Say it loud like you're proud

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real, we've got it

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing, honey

Ain't nothing like that real thing, baby
