The Jackson 5 - Ain't Nothin' Like The Real Thing lyrics

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')

Ain't nothin' like the real thing

Ooh, I've got your picture hangin' on my wall

But it can't see or come to me

When I call your name (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 and they don't groove me

Like when I hear (when I'm in your arms)

Your sweet voice whispering in my ear (in my ear)

No other sound

Is quite the same as your name (quite the same as your name)

No touch can do half as much to make me feel better

So let's stay together

Ooh, I've got memories (memories) to look back on

Though they help when you're gone

I'm well aware (I'm well aware)

Nothin' can take the place of you being there (being there)

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (ain't nothin')

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, ooh baby

Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby (ain't nothin')

Ain't nothin' like the real thing
