[Additional Lyrics]
2.I wrote a letter
And told her these words
That meant a lot to me
I never sent it
She wouldn't have heard
Her eyes don't follow me

And while she watches
I can never be free
Such good photography

3.You can't imagine
What your image means
The pages come alive
Your magic free
To everyone who reads
Heartbreakin' motor drive

Are you for real?
It's so hard to tell
Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells
Look what that does to me
