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, baby

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing

I see your picture

Hanging on the wall

But it can't sing or come to me

When I call your name

I realize it's just

A picture in a frame

And I read your letters

When you're not here

They don't move me

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

Let's stay together

Together, baby, together, yeah

Together, together

I got some memories to look back on

And though they help when you phone

I'm well aware nothing takes

The place of your being there

There ain't nothing

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing, baby

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

Oh, oh, there ain't nothing

Like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing

The real, the real

There ain't nothing

Like the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

The real, the real

The real thing

Oh, the real thing

(Not like the real thing)

(Not like the real thing)
