Aint nothing like the real thing

Ain’t nothing like the real thing   ba-by.  Ain’t nothing like the real thing. Ain’t nothing like the real  thing   ba-by.  Ain’t nothing like the real thing. I got your picture hanging on my wall but it can’t sing or come to me -      when I call your name.  I realized it’s just a picture in a frame. I read your letters but you’re not here.  They don’t move me   they don’t prove it like when I hear your sweet voice whispering in my ear. I play my games of fan-ta-sy.    I’ve been down.  I don’t see reality. I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me I 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 you being there. 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.     Ah ah.    Ooh.                          Ain’t nothing like the real  thing   ba-by.  Ain’t nothing like the real thing.    So glad we  got the real  thing   ba-by.     So glad we  got the real thing. .
