Ain't nothin' like the
real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the
real thing
Ain't nothin' like the
real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the
real thing
I've got your picture
hangin' on my wall
But it can't see or come to me
when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture
in a frame
I read your letters
when you're not near
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 nothin' like the
real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the
real thing
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
No touch can do half as much
to make me feel better
Oo I've got memories
to look back on
Though they help me when
you're gone and I'm well aware
Nothin' can take the place
of you being there
Oo so glad we got the
real thing baby
So glad we got the
real thing no no
Ain't nothin' like the
real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the
real thing
Ain't nothin' like the
real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the
real thing
Ain't nothin' like the
real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the
real thing
