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 au 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 wewe 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 au 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

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
wewe feel you're not wanted anywhere
If wewe ever look behind
And don't like what wewe find
[ Find zaidi Lyrics on link ]
There's something wewe 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 wewe away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see wewe 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 Candy to a child
Stay here and upendo me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Happy, that's you
wewe made my life brand new
Lost as a little lam was I, till wewe came in
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like Candy to a child
Stay here and upendo 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 alisema 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

I don't know what wewe do to me
But this feeling is here to be
I hope it's upendo and one siku we'll see the moon
Take my hand and we'll fly away
A upendo so new till the dying day
A life so true all wewe have to say is wewe will
You've got to believe in something
You've got to believe in
Give it up
Give it up
My upendo is true now
Say me and wewe now
Give it up
Give it up
Just say the word and I'm screaming out your name
So make it true, to make it us
Just give me half a chance
I need your love,
Hope it's me your thinkin' of
A upendo to give, I can't live
Just give me half the chance
I don't know what wewe do to me
But this feeling is here to be
Just say that you'll be giving me your love
All wewe got to do is
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
All wewe got to do is
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
Give it up, give it up
But this feeling is here to be
I hope it's upendo and one siku we'll see the moon
Take my hand and we'll fly away
A upendo so new till the dying day
A life so true all wewe have to say is wewe will
You've got to believe in something
You've got to believe in
Give it up
Give it up
My upendo is true now
Say me and wewe now
Give it up
Give it up
Just say the word and I'm screaming out your name
So make it true, to make it us
Just give me half a chance
I need your love,
Hope it's me your thinkin' of
A upendo to give, I can't live
Just give me half the chance
I don't know what wewe do to me
But this feeling is here to be
Just say that you'll be giving me your love
