John Waite - Imaginary Girl Lyrics

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
