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've got your picture hanging on the wall
But I can't see to come to me
When I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame
I read your letters and you're not here
They don't move 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
Ain't nothing like the real thing baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I play my games a fantasy
I pretend I don't see reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
I've got some memories to look back on who 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
Oh oh
Oh yeah
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'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 real real thing
Oh yeah
