Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing (Live at The Forum, August 26, 1972)

[Intro: The Jackson 5]
"Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing"?
Oh, you wanna do it, fellas?
Let's do it
(One, two, three, four)
Bop, bop, bop

[Chorus: Jermaine Jackson & The Jackson 5]
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing, no no
Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain't nothing like the real thing

[Verse: Michael Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, (The Jacksons)]
Ooh, I've got your picture hangin' on the wall
But it can't see or come to me when I call your name
(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
They don't groove me like when I hear
(When I hear your voice)
Your sweet voice whispering in my ear (In my ear)
No other sound is quite the same as your name
(Quite the same as your name)
No touch can do half as much to make me feel better
(So let's stay together)
Oh, I got some memories to look back on
Though they help me when you're gone I'm well aware
(I'm well aware)
Nothing can take the place of your being there
(Being there)

[Chorus: The Jackson 5 & (Michael Jackson)]
Ain't nothing like the real thing (Oh, you got it, girl)
Ain't nothing (Ain't nothing like the) real thing (Ooh yeah)
Ain't nothing like the real thing (Ain't nothing)
Ain't nothing like the real thing (Ooh yeah)
Ain't nothing like the real thing (Oh, you got it)
(Ain't nothing like the) real thing

[Outro: The Jackson 5 & Jackie Jackson]
Bop, bop, bop
Thank you
