Lyrics Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing - The 5th Dimension

Oooh

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing ooh, ooh, ooh
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Oh honey

I've got your picture hanging on the wall
But 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 (Oooh, oooh wooo)

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

I played my game, a fantasy
I pretend, 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 your bring there, oh

So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing
Ain't nothing like real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I've got your picture hanging on the wall
But 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 (Oooh, oooh wooo)

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

I played my game, a fantasy
I pretend, 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 (Oh, ooh)

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 your bring there, oh

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

So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
