Oooo, baby. [ 1 ]
((Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby.))
((Ain't nothin' like the real thing.))
No, no.
((Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby.))
((Ain't nothin' like the real thing.))
Oh, honey.
(I've 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 and they don't groove me,
Like when I hear,
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear.
(Don't you know,)
((Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby.))
((Ain't nothin' like the real thing.))
(I play my game pf fantasy.)
(I pretend, but 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.
And though they help me when you're gone,
I'm well aware,
Nothing can take the place of your being there.
((Ohh, so, glad we get the real thing, baby.))
((So, glad we get the real thing.))
(Oh, honey.)
Baby. So glad.
(Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby.)
So glad.
(Ain't nothin' like the real thing.)
(Talk to me.)
(Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby.)
Ooo, so glad.
(Ain't nothin' like the real thing.)
