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
