Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)
written by Norman Whitfield, Barrett Strong (1971)
performed by Babyface and Gwyneth Paltrow

Each day through my window I watch him as she passes by
I say to myself, I'm so lucky he's so fly
To have a boy like him is truly a dream come true
Out of all the girlies in the world, he belongs to you

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

Soon we'll be married and raise a famil (oh, yeah)
Have a cozy little crib in the country with two children, maybe three
I tell you, I can visualize it all, baby
It couldn't be a dream, cuz 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

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
(His love is) heavenly
When her arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality, he doesn't even know me

Just my 'magination (ooh, so fly, look at my window)
Running away with me (running away with me)
Just my 'magination, running away with me

Just my 'magination (ooh, so fly, look at my window)
