AIN'T NOTHIN'LIKE THE REAL THING, BABY
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL THING, NO ,NO
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL THING, BABY (AIN'T NOTHIN')
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL THING
OOH, I'VE GOT YOUR PICTURE HANGIN' ON THE WALL
BUT IT CAN'T SEE oder 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 ME AND THEY DON'T GROOVE ME
LIKE WHEN I HEAR (WHEN I'M IN YOUR ARMS)
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
OOH, I'VE GOT MEMORIES (MEMORIES)TO LOOK BACK ON
THOUGH THEY HELP WHEN YOU'RE GONE
I'M WELL AWARE (I'M WELL AWARE)
NOTHIN' CAN TAKE THE PLACE OF Du BEING THERE (BEING THERE)
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL, BABY (AIN'T NOTHIN'
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL THING, OOH BABY
REPEAT & FADE
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL THING, NO ,NO
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL THING, BABY (AIN'T NOTHIN')
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL THING
OOH, I'VE GOT YOUR PICTURE HANGIN' ON THE WALL
BUT IT CAN'T SEE oder 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 ME AND THEY DON'T GROOVE ME
LIKE WHEN I HEAR (WHEN I'M IN YOUR ARMS)
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
OOH, I'VE GOT MEMORIES (MEMORIES)TO LOOK BACK ON
THOUGH THEY HELP WHEN YOU'RE GONE
I'M WELL AWARE (I'M WELL AWARE)
NOTHIN' CAN TAKE THE PLACE OF Du BEING THERE (BEING THERE)
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL, BABY (AIN'T NOTHIN'
AIN'T NOTHIN' LIKE THE REAL THING, OOH BABY
REPEAT & FADE
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
Du feel you're not wanted anywhere
If Du ever look behind
And don't like what Du find
[ Find Mehr Lyrics on link ]
There's something Du should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn Du away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see Du as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben

Then Happy came one day, chased my blues away
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like Süßigkeiten to a child
Stay here and Liebe me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Happy, that's you
Du made my life brand new
Lost as a little lam was I, till Du came in
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like Süßigkeiten to a child
Stay here and Liebe me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
(Till now)
Where have I been?
What lifetime was I in?
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until Happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I sagte a prayer so silently
Let Sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Till now
Happy, yeah yeah
Happy, oehoe happy
happy oh yeah Happy
