Testo Imaginary man Paula Cole

Imaginary man

I see him in my father
I sense him in my mother
My sister holds it in her hands
It’s the heart of the imaginary man
Oh I’ll do everything I can
For the heart of the imaginary man
I want to give all I can

I look around me, the crowd about me
There’s nobody to call to, nobody to hear me
I’ll turn my back on them, I’m giving you my heart
There’s somebody who loves me, who’s in my arms

He comes to me when I’m sleeping
To confess and tease and keep me bound
He comes to me when I’m dreaming
To ask me for my hand in vow
Oh I’ll do everything I can
For the heart of the imaginary man
I want to give all I can

I look around me, the crowd about me
There’s nobody to call to, nobody to hear me
I’ll turn my back on them, I’m giving you my heart
There’s somebody who loves me, who’s in my arms
Call me a lunatic for what I care
Who on earth is better than the air
Spiking the hair upon the small of my back
Keeping me collared, enslaved and daggered
No one knows my man, no one knows my secret plan

I look around me, the crowd about me
There’s nobody to call to, nobody to hear me
I’ll turn my back on them, I’m giving you my heart
There’s somebody who loves me, who’s in my arms
