Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing Songtext
von Michael McDonald

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've got your picture hanging on my 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, oh

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 we ′ve 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
Ooh, I got some memories to look back on
Though they help me when you're gone
Well, oh well, nothing can take the place of you being there

So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing, no, no

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

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

Ain′t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
