[Verse 1]
Each day through my window, I watch him as he passes by
I say to myself, "You're such a lucky girl"
To have a boy like him is truly a dream come true
Out of all the girls in the world, he belongs to me

[Chorus]
But it was just my imagination runnin' away with me, woo
It was just my imagination runnin' away with me, mmm

[Verse 2]
Soon we'll be married and raise a family
Have a cozy little home out in the country
With two children, maybe three
I tell you, I, ooh, I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems, mmm

[Chorus]
But it was just my imagination once again runnin' away with me, woo
It was just my imagination runnin' away with me, mmm-mmm

[Bridge]
Every night on my knees I pray
Dear Lord, hear my plea
Don't ever let another take his love from me or I will surely die, woo
His love is heavenly when his arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality, he doesn't even know my name
[Outro]
(Just my imagination) Oh, what a shame
For it was just my imagination runnin' away with me
And runnin' and runnin'
It was just my imagination once again runnin' away with me, woo
It was just my imagination runnin' away with me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Just my imagination)
In the windmills of my mind
Woo, I would think about him all the time
(Just my imagination)
Oh, but he didn't even know my name, oh, what a shame
Well, it was just my imagination
