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 hanging on my wall But it can't seem to come to me When I call your name I realized it's just a picture in a frame I read your letters but you're not here They don't move me, they don't groove me Like when I hear Your sweet voice whispering in my ear I play my games of fantasy I pretend I don't see reality I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me I got some memories to look back on Though they help me when you're gone I'm well aware Nothing can take the place of you being there No other sound is quite the same as your name No touch can do half as much To make me feel better Let's stay together I'm so So glad we got the real thing, baby So glad we got the real thing Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby Ain't nothing like the real thing |

Maybe it's my blood sugar Maybe it's because I'm mad Maybe it's because things are going so good That somehow I've got to make them go bad Maybe it's because I like it Maybe it's just that time Well it sends shivers right through me The way my own thoughts black and blue me But I just can't get them out of my mind It's the art of melancholy I've really got it down The art of melancholy Sealed with a frown Maybe I'm just self indulgent Maybe I'm just insecure Maybe it's my mother Or some significant other Maybe I'll never know for sure I've got the art of melancholy Down to a 'Tee' The art of melancholy I guess that's how I wanna be I wanna be One day I'll be smiling Find my cloud has a silver lining But for now I'll be blue Aren't you It's the art of melancholy Down to a 'Tee' The art of melancholy I guess that's how I wanna be I wanna be That's how I wanna be |

Hey baby There's a new thing going round Made its way into your neighbourhood Now it's right there in your own backyard I guess you left it a little too late When the myth has broken down It's harder to keep the faith I'm no Angel You're no idea of a saint I'm no hero But with a little bit of love I could've been real good for you Like music, sweet music Hear the words fall from your lips We had it all and now we watch it fall Moving light years from our fingertip It wasn't only a four letter word You twist it round and put it down Cause it's easier than feeling hurt I'm no Angel You're no idea of a saint I'm no hero But with a little bit of love I could've been real good for you Well I'm not asking for forgiveness No that's alright Cause I know you're never gonna see the other side The man upstairs Knows how hard I tried I'm no Angel You're no idea of a saint I'm no hero But with a little bit of love I could've been real good for you I'm no Angel You're no idea of a saint I'm no hero But with a little bit of love I could've been real good for you I'm no Angel You're no idea of a saint I'm no hero But with a little bit of love I could've been real good for you |

My precious little Jewel, I keep it locked up tight, I run it through the darkness, When the worlds asleep at night, Sometimes it drives me crazy, crazy, Just knowing what I've got, Sometimes I'd like to show you, But I know I'd better not, I wish I never had it, If I could just throw it away, Then somebody else might find it, And that would be a big mistake, Watch it shine in all it's glory, How it weighs so heavily, It's my precious little Jewel, And it's staying here with me, I noticed how its changing, It's got this sickly glow, It's growin, It's strangling me, But it's so hot I can't let go, Gonna sew my lips together, Move my furniture around, Put some big shades on my window, Hope nobody hears a sound, It's my precious little Jewel, Jewel, I promised not to tell, My precious little Jewel, Gonna keep it hidden well, Oh Yeah, Gonna keep it hidden well, I noticed how it's changing, It's got this sickly glow, it's growin, It's strangling me, But it's so hot I can't let go, My precious little Jewel, I promised not to tell, My precious little jewel, jewel, Gonna keep it hidden well, Oh Yeah, Gonna keep it hidden well, Oh Yeah, Gonna keep it hidden well, Oh Yeah, Gonna keep it hidden well. |
