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 the wall
It don't speak come to me when I call your name
It's just a picture in a frame
I read your letters when you're not near
They don't move me they don't groove me
Like when I hear your 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 these games fantasy
I pretend I'm not in reality
I need your arms to comfort me
I got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you're gone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of you being there
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
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 get together
Ain't nothing like the real thing baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
So glad we got the real thing baby
So glad we got the real thing
