Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

I got your picture hangin' on the wall

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 nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

I play the game, a fantasy

I pretend I'm not in reality

I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me

No other sound os quite the same as your name

No touch can do half as much to make me feel better

So let's stay together

I got some memories to look back on

And though they help me when you phone

I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being thereSo let me get the real thing

So let me get the real thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing
