Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing

There ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothin' like the real thing

There ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothin' like the real thing

I see your picture hangin' on the wall

But it can't sing or come to me

When I call your name

I realize it's just a picture in a frame

And I read your letters when you're not near

They don't move me, the don't groove me

Like when I hear

Your sweet voice whisperin' in my ear

There ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothin' like the real thing

No other sounds is quite the same as your name

No touch can do half as much to make me feel better

Let's stay together, together baby

Together, yeah, together, together

I got some memories to look back on

And though they help when you phone

I'm well aware

Nothin' takes the place of your bein' there

There ain't nothin', there ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothin' like the real thing (Not like the real thing)

There ain't nothin' like the real thing (Not like the real thing)

There ain't nothin' like the real thing (Not like the real thing)

Oh, there ain't nothin' like the real thing (Not like the real thing)

There ain't nothin' like the real thing, the real thing

There ain't nothin' like the real thing

Real, the real, the real, the real thing

Oh, the real thing (Not like the real thing)
