Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing - Elton John/Marcella Detroit

作词：Valerie Simpson/Nickolas Ashford

作曲：Valerie Simpson/Nickolas Ashford

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

Marcella：I got your picture hanging on my wall

But it can't seem to come to me

When I call your name

I realized it's just a picture in a frame

Elton：I read your letters but you're not here

They don't move me they don't groove me

Like when I hear

Your sweet voice whispering in my ear

Both：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

Marcella：I play my games of fantasy

I pretend

I don't see reality

I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me

Elton：I got some memories to look back on

Though they help me when you're gone

I'm well aware

Nothing can take the place of you being there

Both：No other sound is quite the same as your name

No touch can do half as much

Marcella：To make me feel better

Both：Let's stay together

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'm so

So glad we got the real thing baby

So glad we got the real thing

Ain't nothing like the real thing baby

Ain't nothing like the real real real thing
