Michael McDonald Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing Baby Lyrics

Chorus:
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing
Ain't nothin' like the real thing baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing

I've got your picture hangin' 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, they don't groove me
Like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

(Chorus)

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

I've got memories to look back on
Though they help when you're gone
I'm well aware
Nothin' can take the place of you being there

So glad we got the real thing baby
So glad we got the real thing, no no
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothin' like the real thing
