Temptations, The - Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me) Lyrics






Ooo
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 you

But it was just my 'magination, running away with me
It was just my 'magination, running away with me

(Soon) Soon we'll be married and raise a family. (Oh, yeah)
A cozy little home out in the country with two children, maybe three
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 'magination, once again
Running away with me
Tell you it was just my 'magination
Running away with me

[Paul:] Every night on my knees I pray

Dear Lord, hear my plea
Don't ever let another take her love from me
Or I will surely die. Hmm

(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 'magination, once again
Running away with me
Oh, tell you it was just my 'magination
Running away with me

I never met her but I can't forget her
Just my 'magination
Ooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Running away with me

Ooo, just my 'magination running away with me
She's in my mind and hard to find
Just my 'magination

    The music of this generation does not compare at all 😭 this is what you cal real music. Al my friends think I’m wierd for liking older songs but it keeps me calm. It’s just me and my dad that appreciate the classics

  17. s.... h....

    Yeah I feel this. I'm surprised that this masterpiece was forgotten. I remember it.................. I was really young.............I was laying on the front of my dads boat, laying next to my mom. The sun was shining down as we were bopping up and down going over the ocean.....................I did not have a great mom and dad. Dad was mentally ill. my mom loved him, so she didn't see it. But, this song made everything sort of normal..............But, it wasn't. But you know you still love it so.

    To the 10k dislikes, are you disliking the song (impossible!), or the video?
    This is one of the greatest songs ever written.
    Don't be haters, just to hate. Listen and enjoy the melody (yes, they used to exist), the amazing singing (yes, that existed too) and the production. Not crowed, space breathe. Excellence.

  75. J.... 3....

    In 1967 our Mexican family moved into a coulde sac in a black neighborhood. In Santa Ana , Ca. We lived at the end of the street. A couple houses down across the street live a black guy named Billy Holiday (Like the singer). He was 16 but he looked like a full on man. Everyone called him “monster” because he was like the hulk just covered in natural born muscles. He lived with his grandmother and was always wearing his hair in little braids like Buckwheat from our gang and dress in farmer blue denim overalls, a white wife beater t-shirt, and white fuzzy women’s slippers. He was always in his garage with the garage door up and open, which he had fixed up like a living room (burgundy shag rug, old wooden tv stereo console, black vinyl couch, coffee table, posters of Malcom X, James Brown and Mohamed Ali.
    He was always playing his Motown records and kicking back. I was a hippie type kid and everytime he’d see me he’d call me over ask me if I had any weed if I did we’d smoke one or two while listening to his Motown records. He was always cool to me (i was 14) in 1968 after MLK was killed the neighborhood got all rowdy. One day coming home from school I got jumped by a group of black teenagers and got the shit beat out of me. Afterwards I was walking past Billy’s house and he saw me asked what happened? So I told him I got jumped. He told me to get in his car (his grandmothers white 64 impala he had pimped out) I didn’t want to but he told me get your ass in the car. Then we drove a couple blocks and came across the guys that jumped me. Billy asked me if it was them . I said billy I don’t want make any more trouble. He stopped told me stay the car. Got out and walked over to the guys and started slapping them all upside the heads and cussing them out then he pointed at me and continued cussing them out and slapping them upside the head, no one ran because they were afraid of him, then he came back got in the car and said no one will fuck you again ok, now you got any weed? And smiled, and we smoked one driving back to his place listening to this song on his 4 track tape player. Hope life’s been good to you Billy

    Paul had sickle cell anemia, and back in those days there weren't all the treatments and blood products and medications. He may had wanted to end the pain, or it could have been someone killed him I never thought he could have done it.
