Just My Imagination -- Gwyneth Paltrow with Babyface (in HD)

I usually don't like covers, but this is an exception.

Gwyneth's voice, with its carefree and innocent qualities, is surprisingly attractive. Coupled with Babyface's production arrangements, this song is an unique attention grabber.


Lyrics:

Verse 1- Gwyneth Paltrow

Each day through my window
I watch him as he passes by
I say to myself
I'm so lucky he's so fly
To have a boy like him
is truly a dream come true
Out of all the girlies in the world
he belongs to you

Chorus

But it was just my imagination
Runnin away with me
tell you it was just my imagination
running away with me


Verse 2-Babyface

Soon we'll be married
And raise a family (oh yea..)
Have a cozy little crib in the country
with two children maybe three
I tell you I....
can visualize it all baby
It couldn't be a dream
cause too real it all seems
oooohhhh........

Chorus

But it was just my imagination (once again yea)
Runnin away with me (running away with me)
tell you it was just my imagination
running away with me (away with me yea)

Verse 3-Gwyneth Paltrow and Babyface

Everynight on my knees I pray
Dear lord hear my plea yea
Don't ever let another
take his love from me
Or I will surely die
Heavenly (heavenly) when your arms unfold me
I hear the tender upsity
But in reality
He doesn't even know me

Chorus

But it was just my imagination (ohh, so fly look out my window)
Runnin away with me (It's running away with me baby)
Just my imagination (runnin away)
running away with me (my baby, my sugar, my sweetie, look at my baby)

Just my imagination (ohh, soo fly look out my window)
Runnin away with me (It's runnin away with me)
Just my imagination (yeeaaaa)
running away with me (my baby, my sugar, my sweetie, look at my baby)

Just my imagination (ohh, soo fly look out my window)
Runnin away with me (It's runnin away with me)
Just my imagination (yeeaaaa)

This is one of my very favorite songs of all time - first by the Temptations. Then when I heard the version by Booker T & The MG's (used in "Destiny Turns on the Radio") I fell in love. Whoever arranged this for Gwyneth and Babyface had to have heard this one - very similar arrangement...and I love it!!

@recovering16 Love to hear BookerT's version but can't find it on YT. Can anybody help?

[motyarc]

In the lyrics above it should be noted, "Verse 2-Babyface"...line #6, the lyrics.."can raise your lies down baby".....is so totally incorrect. The lyrics should, in fact, read. "I can visualize it all baby"......

@motyarc Corrected.  Thanks!
