But I wish someone had have (4)____________ to me
Like I (5)________ to talk to you
(Ooh) I've been to Georgia and California and
Anywhere I could run
Took the (6)________ of a (7)________________ man

A fantasy recreated by people
And (17)____________ as we'd like them to be

And it's (18)________ man you (19)____________ with this morning
The same one you're (20)__________ to make love (21)________ tonight
That's true, that's love
Sometimes I've been to crying for (22)____________ children
That might have made me complete
But I, I (23)________ the sweet life and never knew
