Carl Allen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
