Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing

Ooooh baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing, no no

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

Oh honey

I've got your picture hangin' 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

Ooooo, I read your letters 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

Don't you know

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

I play my game, a 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

So let's stay together

Oh, I got some memories to look back on

Though they help me when you're gone

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

So glad we got the real thing baby

So glad we got the real thing

Oh honey

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

No darling

Ain't nothing like the real thing

Talk to me

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing
