Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing

[Chorus]

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing like the real thing

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing like the real thing

[Verse 1]

I see 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

And I read your letters, you're not here

They don't move me, they don't groove me like when I hear

Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

[Chorus]

There ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing like the real thing

[Bridge]

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

Together, baby

Together, yeah

Together, oh, together

[Verse 2]

I've got some memories to look back on

And though they help me when you're gone

I'm well aware nothing takes the place of your being there

[Outro]

There ain't nothing, there ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

There ain't nothing like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

Oh, oh oh, there ain't nothing like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

There ain't nothing like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

The real, the real, there ain't nothing like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

The real, the real, the real, the real thing

Oh, the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

(Not like the real thing)
