Donny & Marie Osmond Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing Lyrics

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

(Oh Baby) ooh I 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 inside a frame
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

I play the game of fantasy
I pretend that I'm not 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 when you phone, I'm well aware
Nothing can take the place of you being there
So glad we've got the real thing baby
