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 my wall but it can't sing, or come to me
When I call your name I realized it's just a picture in a frame.
I read your letters but you're not here
They don't move me, they don't prove it like when
I hear your sweet voice whispering in my ear
I play my games of fantasy
I've been down. I don't see reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
I got some memories to look back on,
Though 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. Ah, ah. Ooh
Ain't nothing like the real thing, ba-by
Ain't nothing like the real thing
So glad we got the real thing, ba-by
So glad we got the real thing.
