Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing lyrics

rate me

Oh Baby<br />

<br />

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby<br />

Ain't nothing like the real thing, no, no<br />

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby<br />

Ain't nothing like the real thing, oh honey<br />

<br />

I got your picture hanging on the wall<br />

But it can't see or come to me when I call your name<br />

I realize, it's just a picture in a frame<br />

<br />

I read your letters, when you're not near<br />

But they don't move me<br />

And they don't groove me like when I hear<br />

Your sweet voice whispering in my ear<br />

<br />

Don't you know<br />

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby<br />

Ain't nothing like the real thing<br />

<br />

I play my game, a fantasy<br />

I pretend but I know in reality<br />

I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me<br />

<br />

No other sound is quite the same as your name<br />

No touch can do half as much to make me feel better<br />

So, let's stay together<br />

<br />

I got some memories to look back on<br />

Though they help when you're gone, I'm well aware<br />

Nothing can take the place of you being there<br />

<br />

So glad we got the real thing, baby<br />

So glad we got the real thing, oh, Marvin<br />

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby<br />

Ain't nothing like the real thing, talk to me<br />

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby<br />

Ain't nothing like the real thing
