I fell in love with the girl in the picture
That I use to keep
Carried her 'round in the back of my pocket

She was always with me
I imagine that I was a man of importance
And she had a fancy for me

And I use to dream she would call
Crying her eyes out
She had an obsession with me

I was the love of her life
And she was all mine



Chrous:
The girl in the Life magazine



The first time we met in an aisle

At the market
She was staring at me
I knew even then we would share

Something special
And it was like chemistry
I fell in love from the moment I saw her

So I took her straight home with me
And that's where I'd dream
She would step right out of the picture

And spend a while evening with me
And oh how she hated to go
Back to her picture



Chorus


All of my friends use to laugh
Said I was certifiably mad

'Til the day that she came
And she blew them away
And asked me if I'd be her man

It seems that she went and fell
In love with my letters
Says she's been looking for me

So the story ends well
We end up together



Chorus
