Aint nothing like the real thing, Baby
Aint nothing like the real thing
Aint nothing like the real thing, Baby
Aint nothing like the real thing
Ive got your picture hanging on the wall
But it cant see or come to me
When I call your name
I realize its just a picture in a frame
I read your letters when youre not here
But they dont move me and they dont groove me
Like when I hear your sweet voice
Whispering in my ear
Chorus
I Play my game of fantasy
And I pretend that Im 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 quite as much
To make me feel better
So lets stay together
Ive got the memories to look back on
And though they help me when youre gone
Im well aware
But nothing can take the place of your being there
So glad weve got the real thing, Baby
So glad weve got the real thing
Aint nothing like the real thing, Baby
Aint nothing like the real thing
