<intro instrumental-1:26>

 

Imagination is funny, it makes a cloudy day sunny

Makes a bee think of honey just as I think of you

 

Imagination is crazy, your whole perspective gets hazy

Starts you asking a daisy "What to do, what to do?"

 

Have you ever felt a gentle touch and then a kiss

And then and then, find it's only your imagination again?

Oh, well

 

Imagination is silly, you go around willy-nilly

For example I go around wanting you

And yet I can't imagine that you want me, too

 

<instrumental 0:32 to end>
