Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing lyrics

Gladys Knight & Vince Gill

Ain’t nothing like the real thing baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, oh no
Ain’t nothing like the real thing baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, no 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 realise 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

Oh 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
And I pretend that I don’t live 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
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/g/gladys-knight-lyrics/ain_t-nothing-like-the-real-thing-lyrics.html]
And though they help me when you’re gone, I'm well aware
That nothing can take the place of your being there

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

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

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