"Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing" written by Ashford & Simpson

Lyrics:
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

I got your picture hangin' on the wall
It can't see or come to me when I call your name
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
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

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 play the game, a fantasy
I pretend I'm not 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

I got some memories to look back on
And though they help me when you phone
I'm well aware nothing can take the place of being there

So let me get the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
So let me get the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby

[Parfectionist]

@BeastFromDeEast: Me, too!! I was just introduced to Pomplamoose yesterday and it was like somebody shot heroin into my veins. (not that I'd know what that feels like, but I hear once you have it it's all you can think about until you get it again.) That's what Pomplamoose did for me when I heard Mister Sandman. And now I'm a Ryan Lerman junkie, too. I am sharing it with everyone on my facebook and creating new junkies all over the world!

[TheAndysanz]

That's music.

I've got to say Ryan, you have done a wonderful job on this videosong. I watch it often. I found this from initially watching Jack and Nataly's videosongs, and your participation. The other comments are right...how in the world does this not have more than 3400 views????? Next time, take the lead from others that get lots of views...lead with the title of the cover, and/or the artist.

[BigJoyMonster]
