Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing
Ohh, baby
Chorus
Ain't nothing like the real thing, Baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing,
No, no
Ain't nothing like the real thing, Baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ohh, honey
I've got your picture
Hanging 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 here
But they don't move me
And they don't groove me Like when I hear
Your sweet voice
Whispering
In my ear
Don't you know
Chorus
Ain't nothing like the real thing, Baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I Play my game
Of fantasy
And I pretend
That I'm not 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 quite as much
To make me feel better
So let's stay together
Ohh,
I've got the memories
To look back on
And though they help me
When you're gone
I'm well aware
Nothing can
Yake the place
Of your being there
Ohh. so glad we've got the real thing, Baby
So glad we've got the real thing
Ohh, Marvin,
Ohh, Darlin'
So glad,
Ain't nothing like the real thing,
So glad,
Baby
Ohh, Darlin'
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Fade Out
Talk to me
Woo,
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ohh, I'm so glad,
Ain't nothing,
Ohh,
like the real thing
