Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

Mmmm, ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

Oh baby

Ooh, I've 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

Their saying

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

I play 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 togetherI've got some memories

To look back on

Though they help

When you phone

And I'm well aware

Nothing can take your place

Of being there

So baby

So glad we got the real thing, baby

So glad we got the real thing

So glad we got the real thing, baby

Oh, so glad we got the real thing

So glad we got the real thing, baby

So glad we got the real thing...
