Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
No, no
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
(Patti LaBelle)
I got your picture hangin' on the wall
It can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame
(Nate)
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
(Patti LaBelle)
I play the game, a fantasy
I pretend I'm not in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
(Shawn/Patti LaBelle)
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
(Wanya)
I got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there
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
(Patti LaBelle)
Ain't nothing like the real thing
(Wanya)
I've be searching but never found
(Patti LaBelle/BIIM)
I've be searching for the real thing, baby
I've be searching (Ain't nothing like the real thing)
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Singin' Boyz II Men (Ain't nothing like the real thing)
Ain't nothing like the real thing
No, no
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
(Patti LaBelle)
I got your picture hangin' on the wall
It can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame
(Nate)
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
(Patti LaBelle)
I play the game, a fantasy
I pretend I'm not in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
(Shawn/Patti LaBelle)
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
(Wanya)
I got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there
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
(Patti LaBelle)
Ain't nothing like the real thing
(Wanya)
I've be searching but never found
(Patti LaBelle/BIIM)
I've be searching for the real thing, baby
I've be searching (Ain't nothing like the real thing)
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Singin' Boyz II Men (Ain't nothing like the real thing)
