Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing (w, Tammi Terrell) Lyrics - Marvin Gaye

Oh Baby 

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby 

Ain't nothing like the real thing, no, no 

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby 

Ain't nothing like the real thing, oh honey 

I got your picture hanging 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 

And they don't groove me like when I hear 

Your sweet voice whispering in my ear 

Don't you know 

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 know 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 

I got some memories to look back on 

Though they help when you're gone, I'm well aware 

Nothing can take the place of you being there 

So glad we got the real thing, baby 

So glad we got the real thing, oh, Marvin 

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby 

Ain't nothing like the real thing, talk to me 

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby 

Ain't nothing like the real thing
