Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing no, no
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing
Ooh I've got your picture hangin' on the wall
But 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
No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
So let's stay together
Ooh I've got memories to look back on
Though they help when you're gone I'm well aware
Nothin' can take the place of you being there
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing
