Donny & Marie Osmond - Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing lyrics

(CHORUS)

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing, no no

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing, oh honey

I've got your picture hanging 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

Don't you know

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing, no no

I play my game of fantasy

And I pretend that I'm not 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

I've got the memories

To look back on and though

They help me when you're gone

I'm well aware, nothing can

Take the place of your being there

So glad we've got the real thing, baby

So glad we've got the real thing, oh darling

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing

Tell, tell me

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

Ain't nothing like the real thing
