Answer 2

There have been a number of recordings of this song but the original artists were Marvin Gaye &Tammi Terrell. Here are the words:

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
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

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
So let me get the real thing
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

"Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" was a 1968 hit for soul music legends Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Another passionate and poetic ode of love written and produced by Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson, the song became another one of those songs that was used to calm down the tension that was building in American life at that time.

The song peaked at #8 on the Billboard Pop charts and #1 on Billboard's Soul Singles chart. It was one of the actual last recordings by Gaye and Terrell, as Terrell fell ill with a brain tumor eventually dying in 1970.

In 1969 Diana Ross and the Supremes with The Temptations covered the song, from the album Together.
