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 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 nothin' like the real thing, baby There ain't nothin' 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, together I got some memories to look back on And though they help, when you phone I'm well aware nothing takes the place of your bein' there There ain't nothin' baby, 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, the real (not like the real thing) There ain't nothin' like the real thing (not like the real thing) The real, the real, the real, the real thing Oh, the real thing (not like the real thing)
