Lyrics Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing - Single Version - Marvin Gaye , Tammi Terrell

Ooh, babe
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've 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 when you're not here
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 my games 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
I got some memories to look back on
Though they help when you're gone
I'm well aware, nothing can take the place
Of you being there
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
Talk to me
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
