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. I got your picture hangin' on the wall. It can't sing 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 the game a fantasy. I pretend but 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 half as much. to make me feel better. So let's stay together. I got your memories hanging on my wall. But they don't move me. And they don't groove me like when I hear. Your sweet voice whispering in my ear. So glad we got the real thing baby. So glad we got the real thing. 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. Ain't nothing like the real thing baby. Ain't nothing like the real thing
