Supremes - Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing lyrics

rate me

(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson) <br />

<br />

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

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

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

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

<br />

I got your picture hangin' on the wall<br />

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 />

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

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

<br />

I play the game, a fantasy<br />

I pretend I'm not in reality<br />

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

<br />

No other sound os 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 />

And though they help me when you phone<br />

I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there<br />

<br />

So let me get the real thing<br />

So let me get the real thing<br />

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

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

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

Ain't nothing like the real thing
