[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 From just a magazine Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells Look what that does to me
