"Smile for the camera"
performer: Rick Springfield
I see you standin out there in the hall
you seem so nervous waiting for his call
I focus on you and reach for the lens
the shutter snaps again
Chorus:
Smile for the camera you know the camera never ever lies
I've been watching you with eager hungery eyes
for sometime
I hold my lens in the middle of the night
Visions of you dancing in the strobe light
Up on the wall is a picture or two
of someone who looks like you
Smile for the camera you know the camera is my private eye
I got color transparent
I got Black and White
Smile for the camera you know the camera never ever lies
I've been watching you with telephoto eyes
Smile Smile for me....
Won'tcha smile for the camera
Won'tcha smile for the..click click click click
Smile for the camera X5.........
Chorus:
