Ain't nothing like the real thing, ba-by. Ain't nothing like the real thing.
Ain't nothing like the real thing, ba-by. Ain't nothing like the real thing.

I got your picture hanging on my wall but it can't sing, or come to me -
Bm Am7 G7M G D
when I call your name. I realized it's just a picture in a frame.
D Em7 D/F# G
I read your letters but you're not here. They don't move me,
F#sus F# Bm Am7 G7M G D
they don't prove it like when I hear your sweet voice whispering in my ear.
D Em7 D/F# G F#sus F# Bm
I play my games of fan-ta-sy. I've been down. I don't see reality.
Am7 G7M G D
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
D Em7 D/F# G F#sus F#
I got some memories to look back on, though they help me when you're gone
Bm Am7 G7M G D
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of you being there.
F#m F#/A# Bm
No other sound - is quite the same as your name.
D7/A G7M D/A Bm7 D/E
No touch can do half as much - to make me feel better.

Let's stay together. Ah, ah. Ooh.
D A/D Em/D D Em/D D G7M Em7
Ain't nothing like the real thing, ba-by. Ain't nothing like the real thing.
So glad we got the real thing, ba-by. So glad we got the real thing.
Ain't nothing like the real thing, ba-by. Ain't nothing like the real thing.
Ain't nothing like the real thing, ba-by. Ain't nothing like the real thing.
