"Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing" lyrics - BOZ SCAGGS

Ooooh
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing (No no)
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing (aha)

I got your picture hangin' on the wall
But it can't see to come to me
When I call your name
I realized it's just a picture in a frame

Oooh
I read your letters but you're not here
They don't move me they don't groove me
Like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

Don't you know

Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing (No no)
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing

I play my game 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.. together

I got the memories to look back on
Though they help me when you're gone
I'm well aware
Nothing can take the place of your being there

Ooooh

So glad we got the real thing baby
So glad we got the real thing (Ooh ooh)
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing

Oooh Boz

So glad we got the real thing baby
So glad we got the real.. real thing.. real thing
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing

So glad we got the real thing baby (woo hoo)
Nothin'.. nothin' like the real thing

Talk it about it Angie baby
Ooh...ooh..
We got the real real real real real thing
