Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, I didn't want to do it but I got too lonely
I had to call you up in the middle of the night
I know it's awful hard to try to make love long distance
But I really needed stimulation, though it was only my imagination
[Verse 2]
It's just a fantasy (Oh)
It's not the real thing (Oh)
It's just a fantasy (Oh)
It's not the real thing (Oh)
But sometimes a fantasy (Oh) is all you need, oh
[Verse 3]
When am I gonna take control and get a hold of my emotions?
Why does it only seem to hit me in the middle of the night?
You told me there's a number I can always dial for assistance
I don't wanna deal with outside action
Only you can give me satisfaction
[Verse 4]
It's just a fantasy (Oh)
It's not the real thing (Oh)
It's just a fantasy (Oh)
It's not the real thing (Oh)
But sometimes a fantasy (Oh) is all you need
[Verse 5]
Oh, sure, it would be better if I had you here to hold me
Be better, baby, but believe me, it's the next best thing
Sure there's many times you've wanted me to hear your secrets
Don't be afraid to say the words that move me
Anytime you want to tell them to me
[Verse 6]
It's just a fantasy (Oh)
It's not the real thing (Oh)
It's just a fantasy (Oh)
It's not the real thing (Oh)
Sometimes a fantasy (Oh) is all you need
[Verse 7]
Just a fantasy (It's just a fantasy)
It's not the real thing (It's not the real thing)
It's just a fantasy (It's just a fantasy)
It's not the real thing (It's not the real thing)
[Verse 8]
It's just a fantasy (It's just a fantasy)
It's not the real thing (It's not the real thing)
It's just a fantasy (It's just a fantasy)
It's not the real thing (It's not the real thing)
[Verse 9]
It's just a fantasy (It's just a fantasy)
It's not the real thing (It's not the real thing)
It's just a fantasy (It's just a fantasy)
