Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing
Oh Baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, no, no
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, oh honey
I got your picture hanging on the wall
But it can't see or come to me when I call your name
I realize, it's just a picture in 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
Don't you know
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I play my games, of fantasy
I pretend but I know 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 got some memories to look back on
Though they help when you're gone, I'm well aware
Nothing can take the place of you being there
So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing, oh, Marvin
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, talk to me
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
