Remarks:
This went to #1 in the US in 1971 on both the pop and R&B charts. Still great after all these years.
Lyrics:
Ooo
Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by.
I say to myself, you’re such a lucky guy.
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true.
Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to me.
But it was just my ‘magination, running away with me.
It was just my ‘magination, running away with me.
(Soon) Soon we’ll be married and raise a family. (Oh, yeah)
A cozy little home out in the country with two children, maybe three.
I tell you, I can visualize it all. This couldn’t be a dream, for 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.
[Paul:] Every night on my knees I pray.
Dear Lord, hear my plea.
Don’t ever let another take her love from me.
Or I will surely die. Hmm
(Her love is) heavenly.
When her arms enfold me.
I hear a tender rhapsody.
But in reality, she doesn’t even know me.
Just my ‘magination, once again.
Running away with me.
Oh, tell you it was just my ‘magination,
Running away with me.
I never met her but I can’t forget her.
Just my ‘magination,
Ooo yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Running away with me.
Ooo, just my ‘magination running away with me.
She’s in my mind and hard to find.
Just my ‘magination…
Also one of my favourites. What made this come up at this time?

hmmm… now I can kinda see why white ppl hated black music from the 70’s so much – reminded them they have no soul.

King bringing back The Real, Yes! Lady Marmalade heats things up, which is good. But If you need cooling down, some 70’s cool for you:
