Imaginary Girl Lyrics - John Waite

Do you think you have to act like you're someone else with me 

Like a cover girl or a Barbie doll or a beauty queen 

You'll be gone when I wake up to the Rolling Stones 

And the jukes and Earls but I ain't looking for an imaginary girl 

Who are you really, come on tell me, deep behind blue eyes 

And what's on today's agenda in your enterprise 

Do you weigh the odds before you speak straighten out your curls 

But I'm not taken in by an imaginary girl, yeah 

Who are you trying to be, why are you so counterfeit? 

What's your problem, who do you want to be anyway? 

'Cause I need reality that's right, come on be straight with me 

You're like a damaged nerve, you're like a dirt road curve 

Do you think you have to act like you're someone else with me 

'Cause I don't believe you, you're an imaginary girl 

Don't believe you babe 

Thought I saw you once when you just let go 

And took your heart down off the shelf 

When you turned around and looked at me baby 

You were nobody else 

That's what I'm looking for deep inside of you 

That hidden precious pearl 

Not the act of love 

From an imaginary girl 

I can't buy into your imaginary world, yeah 

Won't be taken in by an imaginary girl 

So who are you saving it for in your imaginary world, yeah 

I guess I'm resigned to an imaginary girl 

I'm in love with an imaginary girl
