OOH OOH OOH BABY 
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 
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 

OOH 
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 
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 
I PLAY MY GAME 

A 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 
NO TOUCH CAN DO 
HALF AS MUCH 
TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER

SO LET'S STAY TOGETHER 
OH OH I GOT SOME 
MEMORIES 
TO LOOK BACK ON 

THOUGH THEY HELP 
WHEN YOU PHONE 
I'M WELL AWARE 
NOTHING CAN 

TAKE THE PLACE OF YOU 
BEING THERE 
OOH 
SO GLAD WE GOT 

THE REAL THING BABY 
SO GLAD WE GOT 
THE REAL THING 
OH HONEY 

SO GLAD SO GLAD 
OH DARLIN' 
AIN'T NOTHING LIKE 
THE REAL THING 

TALK TO ME 
OOH 
OH I'M SO GLAD 
AIN'T NOTHING LIKE 

THE REAL THING 
NO OOH 
OH 
AIN'T NOTHING LIKE 

THE REAL THING BABY 
AIN'T NOTHING LIKE 
THE REAL THING
