Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Ooh, baby

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, no, no

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothin' 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

Ooh, 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

Don't you know?

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothin' 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

I got some memories to look back on

And though they help, when you're gone

I'm well aware nothin' can take the place of you bein' there, ooh

So glad we got the real thing, baby

So glad we got the real thing, oh, darlin'

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, talk to me

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, oh I'm so glad

Ain't nothin' like the real thing
