Imitation of Life - R.E.M.

Do you have any idea how long youve been messing with my life We go together but you cant commit yourself You say you love me but you promise nothing else Am i supposed to wait till you're strong enough to make up your mind I listen to your dreams of how it's gonna be I'm sitting here waiting for the time it used to be Ok but deep down i know im one of many sinners in your life (Just an imitation of love) You're not for real (Just an imitation of love)You don't know how it feels (Just an imitation of love) Oh I keep holding on To just an imitation of love Our bodies moving just full of desire. Rolling and tumbling our hearts on fire Can this be the night You feel something that you've never felt before It's over again. I feel the sorrow. A very good night but I won't expect you tomorrow I don't even ask. You can't deal with anything more. (Just an imitation of love) you're not for real (Just an imitation of love) You don't know how i feel (Just an imitation of love) Still I keep holding on to just this Imitation of love. I don't want to turn you loose. I keep asking myself what's the Use. When it's just an imitation of love (Just an imitation of love) I don't want to ever turn you loose I keep asking myself what's the use Still I keep holding on to just this imitation of love You're not for real. You don't know how it really feels. I keep holding on to just this imitation of love . Of love Can you come back give me exactly what i never had And I keep holding on to this imitation of love

Never been so apprehensive Lying, cheating, but no aggression Found my money in your back pocket Let me have my twenty minutes You're fine mindlessly going inside Thought a couple of nights would be just fine Three years later you're on your own With a list of people who've outgrown ya Had no liquor, but can't remember What you did on the 31st of December Said you could've been drugged that night, but I'm here to tell you that a solo cup has beer inside At a frat party at 12.05 You're fine mindlessly going inside Thought a couple of nights would be just fine Three years later you're on your own With a list of people who've outgrown ya You're fine mindlessly going inside Thought a couple of nights would be just fine Now you're in this hotel room and you've found that even you talk back You talk back to you But if honesty is what you hide, why are you always awake at 12.05?
