Imagination Lyrics
Imagination is funnyIt 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
