Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Gladys Knight & Vince Gill

Ain’t nothing like the real thing baby

Ain’t nothing like the real thing, oh no

Ain’t nothing like the real thing baby

Ain’t nothing like the real thing, no honey

I’ve 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 in a frame

I read your letters when you’re not here

But they don't move me and they don't groove me

Like when I hear your sweet voice whispering in my ear

Oh don’t you know

Ain’t nothing like the real thing baby

Ain’t nothing like the real thing,

I play my game of fantasy

And I pretend that I don’t live 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

And though they help me when you’re gone, I'm well aware

That nothing can take the place of your being there

So glad we got the real thing baby

So glad we got the real thing

So glad we got the real thing baby

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

So glad we got the real thing baby

So glad we got the real thing

So glad we got 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

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

Ain’t nothing like the real thing baby

Ain’t nothing like the real thing
