  • The Temptations performing Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)
    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 me.
    But it was Just my imagination,
    once again runnin' away with me.
    It was just my imagination runnin' away with me. Oo
    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 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' way 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 would surely die.
    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' way with me.
    Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me.
    no, no, no, no, no, no, no, can't forget her
    Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me.
    Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me.
    --

    I grew up listening to this song. Im 34 now. My parents used to play this all weekend, we would have cookouts and friends and family over. I remember watching my mom at the kitchen table cutting up all the veggies for potato salads and marinating the meats for Dad to grill. Playing and running in the backyard all day. I just lost mom to covid jan 26 2021..i play this for her on the weekends and i close my eyes and imagine i am back there with her again. She was just 62. I love you momma...

    My senior year 1971 met a terrific guy fell in love when this song came out. It became "Our Song" as we started to date and he proposed with this song playing in the background. Our 45th anniversary is this year and still madly in love. This song holds a special place in our hearts. Now our children and grandchildren love this song and know why....Its no longer our imagination, it's our life story.

I can't stop listening to "Just My Imagination" "My Girl" "Since I Lost My Baby", anything by the Tempts. I love the guys. Thank you , Otis, for putting the group together and creating a lifetime of memories for so many people. Here's to the '60s and to Baby Boomers, the greatest generation.

      You need to get on your mom & dad's case and ask them why they weren't playing these classics for you ever since you were in utero ...up until now!
      However, the baton is now in YOUR hands, so you get to play them for your babies - from a few months post-conception until they're old enough to keep it going!
      But feed them the mellower tunes such as this song at a tolerable volume; That will gently stimulate their brain.
      The loud & "busy" music that's all over the place will just retard their development. And definitely don't play the noisy junk that can't be categorized any better than NOISE! Most of us can figure out what that is pretty easily.
      Anyway bro, glad you're broadening your exposure. 😊 👍

The Gang Thing I agree should not be associated with Mexican gangs or any other gangs! These Men where about creating timeless music for people. at Music for the people this music was part of the African American expression of our Art's Song writers Singers Dancers Dress Makers and Tailors for all those cool looking clothes I just get very annoyed with people that Bites the hand that feeds them Meaning. When did Mexicans and other Spanish gangs start hating Blacks they low ride off our music and instead of fighting among them selves or other so call gangs they kill innocent little black kids 7 & 8 year-old kids that got noting on their mind except playing outside in some cities kids can not even go out side cause of these gangs there pretty pathetic to fight over turf you dont even own you pay rent our if you own your home you still pay taxes don't pay and your out either way it doesn't belong to you so wise up brown and black are one people you all are just a bunch of clowns who think it makes you a man to kill people because if the color of your skin and believe me I know Mexicans are over all good people it the low class thugs criminal that have dissed the entire race and call it Pride I say that is Bullshit ! I know Spanish people Darker than my light tan skin and I am African American with a very mixed family heritage my children all look bi racial I just want to know what did African Americans do to Mexicans that these foolish gang thugs hate Blacks but love our music and style if your a hater don't reply I will not entertain stupid comments

      Jink1925 I am a white man from Europe and I always liked the music made by the blacks and consider it superior to the music made by my race.
      Racial, religious, gender or any other prejudice is for me something strange and unnatural. Maybe it is easy for me to say because there are almost no blacks in my country or because I am atheist but have no grudge against any religious group. I judge people by who they are, by their acts, never by their colour, religion, sexual preference and so on. People are good or bad but the majority somewhere in the middle. We all battle with our inner demons.

    The Temptations. The BEST of the best. So glad I grew up with this music.

    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 me
    But it was just my imagination
    Runnin' away with me
    It was just my imagination runnin' away with me
    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 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' way with me
    Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me
    Every night on my knees I pray, dear Lord, hear my plea
    Don't ever let another take her love from me or I would surely die
    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' way with me
    Tell you it was just my imagination runnin' away with me
    No, no, I can't forget her
    Just my imagination once again runnin' way with me
    Just my imagination runnin' away with me

    Very sad how people can take something and make it into an excuse to convey hate towards others.. I see nothing wrong with the slideshow at all, just another expression of art. And to see some of these comments is disgusting. Life is too short for unnecessary evil.
