Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing

Lyrics / Paroles

Jermaine
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, no, no

Jackson 5
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
(Ain’t nothing)
Ain’t nothing like the real thing

Michael
Ooh, I’ve got your picture
Hanging on the wall
But it can’t see or come to me
When I call your name

Jackson 5
(When I call your name)

Michael
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

Jackson 5
(When I hear your voice)

Michael
Your sweet voice
Whispering in my ear

Jackson 5
(In my ear)

Jermaine
No other sound is quite the same
As your name

Jackson 5
(Quite the same as your name)

Jermaine
Your touch can do half this much
To make me feel better

Jackson 5
So let’s stay together

Michael
Ooh, I got memories to look back on
Though they help when you’re gone
I’m well aware

Jackson 5
(I’m well aware)

Michael
Nothing can take the place of your being there

Jackson 5
(Being there)

Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
(Ain’t nothing)
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
Ooh, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
(Ain’t nothing)
Ain’t nothing like the real thing

Ooh, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
