Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Oh baby
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, oh honey
I've 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
I read your letters when you're not near
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
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've got some memories to look back on
Though they help when you're gone
I'm well aware
Nothing can take the place of your being there
Oh so glad we've got the real thing, baby
So glad we've got the real thing
Oh Marvin
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Talk to me
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing...
