#9 Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me) (The Temptations) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
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 fellows in the world, she belongs to you🪄
But it was just my imagination
Runnin’ away with me
It was just my imagination
Runnin’ away with me🪄
Ooh (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 (I, I) can visualize it all
This couldn’t be a dream, for too real it all seems🪄
But it was just my imagination, once again
Runnin’ away with me
Tell you, it was just my imagination
Runnin’ away with me🪄
Ev’ry 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 imagination) Once again
Runnin’ away with me, oh
Tell you it was just my imagination
Runnin’ away with me🪄
I’ve never met her but I can’t forget her
(Just my imagination) Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Runnin’ away with me, ooh
Just my imagination
Runnin’ away with me🪄
She’s never hard to find (Just my imagination)
She’s always on my mind (Runnin’ away with me)

#3 I Can’t Get Next to You (The Temptations) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I
Can turn the gray sky blue
I can make it rain, whenever I want it to, oh I
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail, on dry land tell ’em yeah
But my life is incomplete and I’m so blue
‘Cause I can’t get next to you🪄
I can’t get next to you, babe (next to you)
I can’t get next to you (I just can’t get next you)
I can’t get next to you, babe
I can’t get next to you🪄
I
Can fly like a bird in the sky
Hey, and I can buy anything that money can’t buy
Oh, I
I can turn a river into a raging fire
I can live forever if I so desired🪄
Unimportant are all the things I can do
‘Cause I can’t get next to you🪄
I can’t get next to you, babe (no matter what I do)
I can’t get next to you
Uh-ya🪄
Ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo
Chica boom, chica boom
Chica boom, boom, boom🪄
I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can
I can make the seasons change, just by waving my hand
Oh, I
I can change anything from old to new
The things I want to do the most, I’m unable to do🪄
Unhappy am I with all the powers I possess
‘Cause girl you’re the key to my happiness
And I🪄
Can’t get next to you🪄
Girl, you’re blowing my mind ’cause I can’t get (next to you)
Can’t you see these tears I’m crying? I can’t get (next to you)
Girl, it’s you that I need, I gotta get (next to you)
Can’t you see these tears I’m crying? I can’t get (next to you)
I, I, I, I, I can’t get (next to you)
I, I, I, I, I can’t get (next to you)
Girl, you’re blowing my mind
