Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing baby Ain't nothing like the real thing Ain't nothing like the real thing baby Ain't nothing like the real thing Oh baby, I got your picture Hanging on the wall But it can't see or come to me When I call your name I realize it's just a picture Inside a frame I read your letters when you're not near me But they don't move me And they don't groove me Like when I hear Your sweet voice whispering in my ear Ain't nothing like the real thing baby Ain't nothing like the real thing Ain't nothing like the real thing baby Ain't nothing like the real thing I played the game of fantasy I pretend I'm not 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 as half as much To make me feel better So let's stay together I've got some memories to look back on Though they help when you're gone I'm well aware Nothing can take the place of your nearness So glad we got the real thing baby So glad we got the real thing So glad we got the real thing baby So glad we got the real thing Repeat last verse and fade.
