Текст песни Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing - Marvin Gaye , Tammi Terrell

Ooh, baby

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 hangin' 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
Ooh, 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 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

I've 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 your being there, oh

So glad we've got the real thing, baby
So glad we've got the real thing
Oh, Marvin (I know, honey)
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby (so glad)
(So glad, oh, darling)
Ain't nothing like the real thing, talk to me
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby (ooh, oh, I'm so glad)
Ain't nothing like the real thing
