Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing (Nothing like it)

Nothing like it, nothing like it (I wanna tell you no, no)

I've got your picture hanging on the wall

But it can't see or come to me when I call

When I call your name, nah, nah

I real— I realized that it's just, just a picture in a frame

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing (Oh)

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

I read your letters when you're not here

But they don't move me, they don't groove me like when I hear

Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

I play my game of 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

And no touch can do half as much to make, oh, to me feel better

So let's stay together (Together), together (Together), oh

I got some memories to look back on

And though they help when you're gone

I'm well aware nothing can take the place of your being there

So glad we got the real thing, baby (I'm so glad that we got the real thing)

So glad we got the real thing (Yeah)

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothing)

Ain't nothing like the real thing (Got the real thing)

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby (And your walk and your talk)

Ain't nothing like the real thing (Ain't nothing like the real thing, yeah)
