I made up a make believe lover
That I told everybody about
I'm confessing, I made up my one and only
Just to keep the world from guessing
That I'm really awfully lonely
In my dreams my make believe lover
Comes around and, how delighted I feel
There's nothing to make up
Because till I wake up
My make believe lover is real
(Make believe lover come true)
Make believe lover come true, make believe lover please do
Make believe lover won't you, come around to stay someday
I can pretend you exist, but I don't ever get kissed
And in my friendship I [?] to my lie
I must [?] goodness I just want to die!

There's nothing to make up
Because till I wake up
My make believe lover is real
(Make believe lover come true)
There's nothing to make up
Because till I wake up
My make believe lover is real
