The Big Chill movie - Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing lyrics

Song by Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell<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 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>

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 <br>

<br>
