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 see 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
|
|
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
|
Ain't nothing like the real thing
|
|
I play the game, a fantasy
|
I pretend 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 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
|
|
So let me get the real thing
|
So let me get 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
|
