Imaginary Lovers
(Great old Song)
You’ve locked yourself away far too long
Are you listening to me at all?
Find someone real, not those imaginary lovers
The ones that keep you locked inside your mind
You only think they are safer
Just because you can keep them at a distance
It’s not a real life; you need a real life
Imaginary lovers aren’t real
Why aren’t you listening, where are you right now?
Quit smiling like that, what’s going on inside your head
It’s been five years now
You’ve been out with only one guy
Not very good odds would you say
So you turned a nice guy into a sex maniac
We all should be so lucky
You say you need the romance to go with it
Not dog collars and nipple rings
That you want tenderness with words and fire too
You remember you are talking about men here right
That species doesn’t do that all at once
It’s like asking for a Renaissance feast at Mickey Ds’
You say they do and that you found some
But they’re imaginary they aren’t real
What’s wrong with you
You say you’ve screwed up too many times and this time
It’s important that you do it right
But you aren’t getting any younger you know
You know its national mental health day don’t you
Maybe you should go see someone
Why are you laughing here, I am serious
So tell me where do I find these guys that make you smile like this anyway?
