Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing

[R: x2]

Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby

Ain't nothin' like the real thing

Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby

Ain't nothin' like the real thing

I've got your picture,

Hangin' on my 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

Oh

[R]

I play my game, of fantasy

I pretend, but I 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,

Oh

I've got your memories

To look back on

Though they help me when you're gone

I'm well aware,

Nothin' can, take the place of you being there

Oh

[R]

So glad we got the real thing baby

So glad we got the real thing

Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby

Ain't nothin' like the real thing

Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby

Ain't nothin' like the real thing

Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby

Ain't nothin' like the real thing

Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby

Ain't nothin' like the real thing
