Rhythm Country and Blues

0

[Chorus: Vince Gill & Gladys Knight | Vince Gill | Gladys Knight]
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing (Oh no)
No, no, ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing (No, honey)
[Verse 1: Gladys Knight | Vince Gill]
Oh honey, I 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 here
But they don't move me, and they don't groove me like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear
Ah, don't you know
[Chorus: Vince Gill & Gladys Knight | Vince Gill | Gladys Knight]
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
[Verse 2: Gladys Knight]
I played my game, a fantasy
And I pretend that I don't live reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
[Bridge: Vince Gill & Gladys Knight | Vince Gill | Gladys Knight]
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
[Verse 3: Vince Gill]
Well, I got the memories to look back on
And though they help me when you're gone
I'm well aware that nothin' can take the place of your being there
[Chorus: Vince Gill & Gladys Knight | Vince Gill | Gladys Knight]
So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing
So glad we got the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Vince Gill & Gladys Knight | Vince Gill | Gladys Knight]
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
[Chorus: Vince Gill & Gladys Knight | Vince Gill | Gladys Knight]
So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing (Oh baby)
So glad we got 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 (Oh baby)
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
(No, darling) (Talk to me)
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
(Nothing) (Absolutely)
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
