There ain´t nothing like the real thing, baby There ain´t nothing like the real thing There ain´t nothing like the real thing
I see your picture hanging on the wall
It can´t see or come to me when i call your name I realize it´s just a picture in a frame 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
There ain´t nothing like the real thing, baby There ain´t nothing 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 So let´s stay together Together, baby, together, together, together I got some memories to look back on And though they help me when you phone I´m well aware nothing can take the place of being there
There ain´t nothing like the real thing, baby There ain´t nothing like the real thing There ain´t nothing like the real thing There ain´t nothing like the real thing There ain´t nothing like the real thing There ain´t nothing like the real thing
