Gladys Knight & Vince Gill
Ain’t nothing like the real thing baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, oh no
Ain’t nothing like the real thing baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, no 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 realise 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
Oh don’t you know
Ain’t nothing like the real thing baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing,
I play my game of fantasy
And I pretend that I don’t live 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 some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you’re gone, I'm well aware
That nothing can take the place of your being there
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
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
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
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
Ain’t nothing like the real thing baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
