Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing

Lyricist：Nickolas Ashford, Valerie Simpson

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I 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

I read your letters when you're not near
But they don't move me
They don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whisperin' in my ear, ooh

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I play my game, a fantasy, I pretend but I'm 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 half as much to make me feel better

I got some memories to look back on
Though they help me when you're gone I'm well aware
Nothin' can take the place of you bein' there

So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing, no, no
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
