Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing Songtext

von Angela Bofill

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, ho}

I got your picture hangin? on the wall
But it can't see to come to me
When I call your name
I realized it's just a picture in a frame

Ooh, I read your letters but you're not here
They don't move me, 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 {No, no}
Ain't nothin? like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothin? like the real thing {Oh, ho}

I play my game of 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, together

I got the memories to look back on
Though they help me when you're gone
I'm well aware
Nothing can take the place of you being there, ooh

So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing {Ooh, ooh}
Ain't nothin? like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothin? like the real thing (Ooh, ?cause)

So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real, real thing, real thing
Ain't nothin? like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothin? like the real thing

So glad we got the real thing, baby, woo
Nothin?, nothin? like the real thing
{Talk it about it, baby}
Ooh...ooh..
{We got the real, real, real, real, real thing}
Nothin?, nothin?, nothin?
