I look out my window, watch her as she passes by
I say to myself I'm such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her is a dream come true
And of all the girls in New York she loves me true

But I tell you

It was just my imagination once again
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me

Soon we'll be married and raise a family
Two boys for you, what about two girls for me?
I tell you I'm just a fellow with a one track mind
Whatever it is I want, baby, I seek and I shall find

Every night I hope and pray, "Dear lord, hear my plea
Don't ever let another take her love from me or I will surely die"
Her love is ecstasy, when her arms enfold me, I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality, she doesn't even know me

Run away... run run run...
 
 

TrackTalk

It's like a continuation (of us covering Ain't Too Proud to Beg), and I've always wanted to do that song - originally as a duet with Linda Ronstadt, believe it or not. But instead we just did our version of it - like an English rock & roll band tuning up on Imagination, which has only two or three chords... it's real simple stuff...

Yeah, I made that (part about two girls for me) up. In reality the girl in the song doesn't even know me - it's a dream... I added the New York reference in the song. And the album itself is like that beause I was staying in New York part of last year...
