Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing Lyrics by The Dynamic Superiors

Pure Pleasure

1975

[Intro]
Ain't nothing like the real thing (Nothing like it)
Nothing like it, nothing like it (I wanna tell you no, no)
[Verse 1]
I've got your picture hanging on the wall
But it can't see or come to me
When I call, when I call your name, nah, nah
I real— I realized that it's just, just a picture in a frame
[Chorus]
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing (Oh)
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
[Verse 2]
I read your letters when you're not here
But they don't move me, they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear
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
And no touch can do half as much to make, oh, to me feel better
So let's stay together (Together), together (Together), oh
I got some memories to look back on
And though they help when you're gone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of your being there
[Chorus]
So glad we got the real thing, baby (I'm so glad that we got the real thing)
So glad we got the real thing (Yeah)
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby (Ain't nothing)
Ain't nothing like the real thing (Got the real thing)
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby (And your walk and your talk)
Ain't nothing like the real thing (Ain't nothing like the real thing, yeah)
