Lyrics Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing (Alternate Take) by Marvin Gaye

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

I 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, hoo

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing (Oh no, no, no)
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I read your letters when you're not near me
But they don't movе me, and they don't groove mе like when I hear
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

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 (Woo)
So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got the real thing (Oh)
So glad we got the real thing, baby
So glad we got 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
Oh baby, I'm so glad we got the real thing, baby, mhm
So glad we got the real thing

Oh Tammi, Tammi, I love you, and I want you to know
(So glad, so glad, so glad, ooh-hoo)
I'm so glad, baby, we got the real thing
(So glad we got the real thing)
Baby, I know that you know that I know that you love me, yeah
(So glad, so glad, so glad, ooh-hoo)
And I'm so glad, so glad we got the real thing
(So glad we got the real thing)
We got it, baby, we got it, oh
(So glad, so glad, so glad, ooh-hoo)
Honey, I'm glad we got the real thing
(So glad we got the real thing)
Woo-hoo, I'm so glad, so glad, baby, yeah
(So glad, so glad, so glad, ooh-hoo)
So glad we got the real thing
(So glad, so glad, so glad, ooh-hoo)
Oh baby, don't ever leave me, don't ever leave me
No, no, no
