Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

(Oh Baby) ooh I got your picture hanging on the wall

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

I realise it's just a picture inside 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

I play the game of fantasy

I pretend that I'm not 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've got some memories to look back on

Though they help when you phone, I'm well aware

Nothing can take the place of you being there

So glad we've got the real thing baby
