[Verse 1]
Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
And 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 you...

[Chorus]
But it was just my imagination
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me...

[Verse 2]
(Soon) Soon we'll be married..
And raise a family (oh yeah)
In a cozy, little home out in the country
With two children, maybe three
I tell you I, I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream
For too real it all seems

[Chorus]
But it was just my imagination
(Once again)
Running away with me, yeah
I tell you it was
Just my imagination
Running away with me...

[Bridge]
Oh, 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
Ooh, her love is heavenly
When her arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality
She doesn't really know me

[Chorus]
Just my imagination
Running away with me
Tell you it was just my imagination
Running away with me
(You don't even know my name)

Just my imagination
Running away with me
Just my imagination
Running away with me
(Running away with me, running, oh oh...)

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
