Lyrics

Fantasy Girl

[Verse 1]

Lately, I'm learnin'

That so many yearnings are never to be

Childhood illusions

Are merely delusions of a girl that I see

[Chorus]

In my mind's eye

I see clearly a vision of how it could be

Me and my fantasy girl

Hold on to me

Be my fantasy girl

Don't set me free

[Verse 2]

Now, I've had my share

But sometimes, I swear that I've had me enough

You end up in sorrow

Broken tomorrows, love can be tough

[Chorus]

But my mind's eye

Sees a vision of true love and how it should be

Me and my fantasy girl

Hold on to me

Be my fantasy girl

Don't set me free

Be my fantasy

[Outro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I see clearly a vision of how it could be, yeah

Be my fantasy

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Be my fantasy girl

Hold on to me

You're my fantasy girl

Don't set me free

Be my fantasy girl

Hold on to me

You're my fantasy girl

Don't set me free

Yeah

From this fantasy
