Aint nothing like the real thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing, ba-by. Ain't nothing like the real thing. Ain't nothing like the real thing, ba-by. 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 fan-ta-sy. 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. .
