Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing Lyrics - You're All I Need - Marvin Gaye

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 

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

NEW SONG: Beyoncé - Spirit (From Disney's The Lion King) - LYRICS 

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby 

Ain't nothing like the real thing 

I play my game, a fantasy 

I pretend 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 

So let's stay together 

Photos 

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 

So let me get the real thing 

So let me get the real thing 

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
