Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)

Ooh

Each day through my window I watch 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 fellows in the world

She belongs to you

But it was just my imagination

Running away with me

It was just my imagination

Running away with me

When me and Melvin got back from lunch

Shelly told us Eddie was gone

He didn't come back for that show

Or any more after

Soon we'll be married

And raise a family (yeah)

A cozy little home out in the country

With two children, maybe three

I'll tell you I can visualize it all, yes I can

This couldn't be a dream, far too real it all seems

But it was (just my imagination)

Once again

Running away with me

I tell you it was just my imagination

Running away with me

This was the last song he recorded with us

Every night

On my knees I pray

It'll always be my favorite Eddie Kendricks record

Dear Lord

Hear my plea

Don't ever let another take her love from me

Oh, I would 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)

No, I tell you it was (just my imagination)

No (running away with me)
