I've Got To Use My Imagination

by Gladys Knight & The Pips

on Imagination (Expanded Edition) (1973)

I've really got to use
My imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keeping on (keep on keeping on)

Got to make the best of (best of, best of)
A bad situation (bad situation)
Ever since that day (ever since that day)
I woke up and found that you were gone (gone, gone)

Darkness all around me
Blocking out the sun
Old friends call me
But I just don't feel like talking to anyone

Emptiness has found me
And it just won't let me go
I go right on living
But why, I just don't know
(You're too strong, got to keep on keeping on)
Yes, I am

(You're too strong, got to keep on keeping on)
Staring down reality
Don't do me no good
Cause our misunderstanding
Is too well understood (too well understood)

Such a sad, sad season (sad, sad season)
When a good love dies (when a good love dies)
Not a day goes by (not a day goes by)
When I don't realize (realize)

I've really got to use (I've got to use)
My imagination (I've got to use)
To think of good reasons (I've got to use)
To keep on keeping on (I've got to use)

I've got to make the best of (best of, best of)
Of a bad situation (bad situation)
Ever since that day (ever since that day)
I woke up and found that you were gone
(You're too strong, got to keep on keeping on)

Oh, I've really got to use (I've got to use)
A good imagination (I've got to use)
To think of good reasons (I've got to use)
To keep on pushing on (I've got to use)

I said I've got to make the best of (best of, best of)
Of a bad situation (bad situation)
Ever since that day (ever since that day)
I woke up and found out that you were gone
(You're too strong, got to keep on keeping on)
Gone, gone, gone

Ooh, I've really got to use (I've got to use)
A good imagination (I've got to use)
Got to think of good reasons (I've got to use)
Huh, keep on keeping on (I've got to use)

I said I've got to make the best of
