Ain`t Nothing Like The Real Thing Lyrics

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 hanging on my wall



But it can't seem to come to me



When I call your name



I realized it's just a picture in a frame







I read your letters but you're not here



They don't move me, they don't groove me



Like when I hear



Your sweet voice whispering in my ear







I play my games of fantasy



I pretend I don't see reality



I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me







I got some memories to look back on



Though they help me when you're gone



I'm well aware



Nothing can take the place of you being there







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







I'm so



So glad we got the real thing, baby



So glad we got the real thing



Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby



Ain't nothing like the real thing
