Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing (Originally by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell)
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
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
