Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

Yeah, you just smile and the picture sells

Look what that does to me

[Chorus]

I'll wait 'til your love comes down

I'm coming straight for your heart

No way you can stop me now

As fine as you are

[Verse 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 do follow me

And while she watches, I can never be free

Such good photography

[Chorus]

I'll wait 'til your love comes down

I'm coming straight for your heart

No way you can stop me now

As fine as you are

[Instrumental]

You can't imagine what your image means

The pages come alive

Your magic greeting everyone who reads

Heartbreak in 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

[Chorus]

I'll wait 'til your love comes down

I'm coming straight for your heart

No way you can stop me now

As fine as you are

[Outro]

I'll wait 'til your love comes down

I'm coming straight for your heart

No way you can stop me now

As fine as you are

I'll wait
