Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing like the real thing

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing 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 here

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

Like when I hear

Your sweet voice whisperin' in my ear

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

There 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

Let's stay together

Together, baby

Together, yeah

Together

Oh, 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 being there

There ain't nothin'

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing like the real thing

(Not like the real thing) There ain't nothing like the real thing

(Not like the real thing) There ain't nothing like the real thing

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

There ain't nothing like the real thing

(Not like the real thing) There ain't nothing like the real thing

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

There ain't nothing like the real thing

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

The real thing (Thing, thing)

Oh, the real thing

(Not like the real thing, thing, thing)

(Not like the real thing)
