Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing (Alternate Take)

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 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, woo

Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing (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
But they don't move me and they don't groove me
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
Oh, baby, I'm so glad we got the real thing, baby, hmm
So glad we got the real thing

Ooh, Tammi, Tammi I love and I want you to know
I'm so glad, baby, we go the real thing
Baby, I know that you know that I know that you love me
Yeah, and I'm so glad
So glad that we got the real thing
We got it, baby, we got it (so glad)
Ooh (so glad) honey I'm glad we got the real thing
Woo-hoo, I'm so glad, so glad
Baby, so glad we got the real thing
Oh, baby (so glad)
Don't ever leave me
Don't ever leave me
