Bobby “Blue” Bland
I’ve Got to Use My Imagination
I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on

Got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you had gone

Darkness all around me
Blockin' out the sun
Old friends call me
But I don't talk to no one

Emptiness has found me
And it just won't let me go
I go right on livin'
But why I just don't know

I've really got to use my imagination
To think of a real good reason
To keep on keepin' on

Got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you had gone
Staring down reality
It just don't do me no good
'Cause our misunderstanding
Is too well understood

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

That I've got to use my imagination
To think of a real good reason
To keep on keepin' on

I got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone
