Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing

There ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby
 There ain't nothin' like the real thing
 There ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby
 There ain't nothin' like the real thing
 I see your picture hangin' on the wall
 But it can't sing or come to me when I call your name
 I realize it's just a picture in a frame
 And 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 whisperin' in my ear
 There ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby
 There ain't nothin' like the real thing
 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, together baby
 Together yeah, together, together
 I got some memories to look back on
 And though they help, when you phone
 I'm well aware nothing takes the place of your bein' there
 There ain't nothin' baby, nothin' like the real thing, baby
 There ain't nothin' like the real thing (not like the real thing)
 There ain't nothin' like the real thing (not like the real thing)
 There ain't nothin' like the real thing (not like the real thing)
 Oh, there ain't nothin' like the real thing (not like the real thing)
 There ain't nothin' like the real thing
 The real, the real (not like the real thing)
 There ain't nothin' like the real thing (not like the real thing)
 The real, the real, the real, the real thing
 Oh, the real thing (not like the real thing)
