Lyrics

Oh, I didn't want to do it but I got too lonely I had to call you up in the middle of the night I know it's awful hard to try to make love long distance But I really needed stimulation Though it was only my imagination It's just a fantasy (oh-oh-oh-oh) It's not the real thing (oh-oh-oh-oh) It's just a fantasy (oh-oh-oh-oh) It's not the real thing (oh-oh-oh-oh) Sometimes a fantasy (oh-oh-oh-oh) Is all you need When am I gonna take control, get a hold of my emotions Why does it only seem to hit me in the middle of the night You told me there's a number I can always dial for assistance I don't want to deal with outside action Only you can give me satisfaction It's just a fantasy (oh-oh-oh-oh) It's not the real thing (oh-oh-oh-oh) It's just a fantasy (oh-oh-oh-oh) It's not the real thing (oh-oh-oh-oh) Sometimes a fantasy (oh, oh, oh, oh) Is all you need Oh sure, it would be better if I had you here to hold me Be better baby, but believe me it's the next best thing Sure, there's many times you've wanted me to hear your secrets Don't be afraid to say the words that'll move me Anytime you want to tell them to me It's just a fantasy (oh-oh-oh-oh) It's not the real thing (oh-oh-oh-oh) It's just a fantasy (oh-oh-oh-oh) It's not the real thing (oh-oh-oh-oh) Sometimes a fantasy (oh, oh, oh, oh) Is all you need Just a fantasy (it's just a fantasy) It's not the real thing (it's not the real thing) It's just a fantasy (it's just a fantasy) It's not the real thing (it's not the real thing) It's just a fantasy (it's just a fantasy) It's not the real thing (it's not the real thing) It's just a fantasy (it's just a fantasy) It's not the real thing (it's not the real thing) It's just a fantasy (it's just a fantasy) It's not the real thing (it's not the real thing) It's just a fantasy (it's just a fantasy) It's not the real thing
