Nickolas Ashford - Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing lyrics

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) Ain't nothing like the real thing Ooh, I've got your picture Hanging on the wall But it can't see or come to me When I call your name (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 (When I hear your voice) Your sweet voice Whispering in my ear (In my ear) No other sound is quite the same As your name (Quite the same as your name) Your touch can do half this much To make me feel better So let's stay together Ooh, I got memories to look back on Though they help when you're gone I'm well aware (I'm well aware) Nothing can take the place of your being there (Being there) Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothing) Ain't nothing like the real thing Ooh, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothing) Ain't nothing like the real thing Ooh, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing
