Just My Imagination

1971 by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong.
Recorded by the Temptations on the Motown label

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 of the fellas 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
(Soon) Soon we’ll be married
And raise a family, whoa 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 imagination, once again
Running away with me
