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 got your picture hanging on my wall
  But it can't seem to come to me
  When I call your name
  I realized it's just a picture in a frame
    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
    I play my games of fantasy
  I pretend I don't see reality
  I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
    I got some 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
    No other sound is quite the same as your name
  No touch can do half as much
  To make me feel better
  Let's stay together
    I'm so
  So glad we got the real thing, baby
  So glad we got the real thing
  Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
  Ain't nothing like the real thing
