Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)
Vocabulary from The Temptations: 'Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)'.
Oh, oh, oh
Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself you're such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her
Is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellas in the world
She belongs to me
But it was just my imagination
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
Oh, ho, ho, ho
(Soon) soon we'll be married
And raise a family, (oh, yeah)
A cosy little home out in the country
With 2 children, maybe 3
I tell you I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems
But it was just my imagination, once again
Running away with me
Tell you it was just my imagination
Running away with me
Every night on my knees I pray
Dear Lord, hear my plead
Don't ever let another take her love from me
Or I will surely die
Her love is heavenly
When her arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality
She doesn't even know me
Just my imagination once again
Running away with me, ohhhh
Tell me it was just my imagination
Running away with me
