Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing Lyrics - Singles - Detroit Marcella

Nickolas Ashford and 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 hanging on my wall 

But it can't seem to 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 groove me 

Like when I hear your sweet voice 

Whispering in my ear 

I play my games of fantasy 

I pretend I don't see reality 

I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me 

I got some memories you 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 

I'm so 

So glad we got the real thing, baby 

So glad we got the real thing 

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby 

Ain't nothing like the real thing
