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
Oh Honey
I 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
Oooo
I read your letters
you're not near
But they don't move me
they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear
Don't you know
Ain't nothing like the real thing baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I play my game, of fantasy
I pretend but I know in reality
I need the shelter of your arms
to comfort me
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
I got some memories
to look back on
though they help me when your gone
I'm well aware
nothing can take the place of being there
Ohh
So let me get the real thing baby
So let me get the real thing
Oh honey
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.
