An Imitation Of Love

Do you have any idea how long you've been messing up my life?

We go together but you can't commit yourself
You say you love me but will promise nothing else
Am I supposed to wait
'Til you're strong enough to make up your mind?
I listen to your dreams of how it's gonna be, uh-huh
I'm patiently waiting for the time they include me
Oh, but deep down I know
I'm one of many standing in your line

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
Ooh, ooh

Our bodies moving, yes, we're full of desire (Desire)
Rolling and tumbling, our hearts on fire
Can this be the night
You feel something that you 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 it feels
Just an imitation of love
Still I keep holding on
To just this imitation of love

I don't wanna turn him loose
I keep asking myself, what's the use?
When it's just an imitation of love

Just an imitation of love
Oh, I don't wanna ever turn him loose
Just an imitation of love
I-I-I-I keep asking myself what's the use, what's the use?
Just an imitation of love
Hey, hey, still I keep holding on
To just this imitation of love
Just an imitation of love
You're not for real
Just an imitation of love
No, no, you don't know how it really feels
Just an imitation of love
No, baby, I keep holding on
To just this imitation of love, of love, love
Just an imitation of love
You treat me so bad, hey baby
Just an imitation of love
Then you come back and give me the best loving that I ever had
Just an imitation of love
And I keep holding on to this imitation of love
Just an imitation of love
You ask me to hold on, you ask me to wait
Just an imitation of love
This is your last chance, baby, before it's too late
Just an imitation of love
