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)
