Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing



There ain't nothing

Like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing



I see your picture

Hanging 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

Whispering in my ear



There ain't nothing

Like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing

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 being there



There ain't nothing

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing



(Not like the real thing)

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)



Oh, oh, there ain't nothing

Like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing



The real, the real

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

The real, the real

The real thing



Oh, the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

(Not like the real thing)
