You’ve got me captured, I’m under your spell
I guess I’ll never learn
I have your picture, yes I know it well
Another page is turned
Are you for real?
It’s so hard to tell from just a magazine
You just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me

I’ll wait until your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now, as fine as you are

I wrote a letter and told her these words—that meant a lot to me
I never sent it because she wouldn’t have heard
Her eyes don’t follow me
And while she watches I can never be free
Such good photography

I’ll wait until your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now, as fine as you are

You can’t imagine what your image means
The pages come alive
Your magic greeting everyone who reads
Heartbreak in overdrive
Are you for real?
It’s so hard to tell from just a magazine
You just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me

I’ll wait until your love comes down
I’m coming straight for your heart
No way you can stop me now, as fine as you are
