"Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing" lyrics

Hoo...yeah

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 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
Don't you know

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

I play the game, a fantasy
I pretend but 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 me 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 phone
I'm well aware that nothing can take the place of your being there

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
(So glad we got the real thing, baby)
Ain't nothing like the real thing
(Talk to me)
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
So

No, it ain't nothing like the real thing
No, darling
(Nothing like the real thing, darling)
Nothing
(I've been searching and I never found)

I've been searching for the real thing, baby
(Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby)
I've been searching
Nothing
(Ain't nothing like the real thing)
I've been searching
Nothing
(Ain't nothing like the real thing)

(Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby)
(Sing, Boyz II Men)
(Ain't nothing like the real thing)
