Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Ooh, baby
 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 (oh, honey)
 I've got your picture hangin' on the wall
 But it can't see or come to me when I call your name
 I realize it's just a picture in a frame
 Ooh, 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
 I play my game of fantasy
 I pretend, but I know 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've got some memories to look back on
 Though they help me when you're gone
 I'm well aware
 Nothing can take the place of your being there, oh
 So glad we've got the real thing, baby
 So glad we've got the real thing
 Oh, Marvin (I know, honey)
 Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby (so glad)
 (So glad, oh, darling)
 Ain't nothing like the real thing, talk to me
 Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby (ooh, oh, I'm so glad)
 Ain't nothing like the real thing
