Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Michael Bolton
Album : Ain't No Mountain High Enough: Tribute To Hitsville U.S.A

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
I got your picture
hangin' on the wall
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
Ain't nothing like
the real thing baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
I play the game a fantasy
I pretend 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 got some memories
to look back on
And though they help me
when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can
take the place of being there
So let me get the real thing
So let me get the real thing
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
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
