Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing (Alternate Take) Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell]
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

[Verse 1: Tammi Terrell]
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

[Chorus: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Marvin Gaye]
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

[Verse 2: Marvin Gaye]
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

[Bridge: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Marvin Gaye]
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)
