Lyrics for Ainât Nothing Like the Real Thing
Ooh, baby 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'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 Ooh, I read your letters when 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 Don't you know Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing I play my game, a 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 Oh, I got some memories to look back on And though they help me when you're gone I'm well aware nothing can take the place of your being there Ooh, so glad we got the real thing, baby So glad we got the real thing Oh, honey 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 (oh yeah) Ain't nothing like the real thing
