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
