SMILE FOR THE CAMERA        
(words and music by Rick Springfield)          


I see you standing out there in the hall
You seem so nervous waiting for his call
I focus on you
I reach for the lens
The shutter snaps again

Smile
Smile For The Camera 
You know the
(smile) Camera never ever lies
I've been watching you with 
eager hungry eyes
For sometime


I hold my lens in the middle of the night
Visions of you dancing in the strobe light
Up on my wall is a picture or two
of someone who looks like you

(Smile)
Smile For The Camera 
You know the 
(Smile) camera is my wide lens
I got color transparencies
I got black and white (Smile)
Smile For The Camera 
You know that (Smile)
Cameras never ever lie
I've been watching you with telephoto eyes
for some time


Smile for me (Come on)
Smile for me (Come on)
Smile for me (Come on)
Smile for me (Come on)
Smile for me (Come on)
Smile for me (Come On)

(Smile) 
Won't you Smile For The Camera 
Won't you smile for the 
click, click, click, click

(Smile)
Smile For The Camera 
(Smile)
Smile For The Camera
(Smile)
Smile For The Camera 
(Smile)
Smile For The Camera 
(Smile)
Smile For The Camera
You know the (Smile)
camera is my private eye
(Smile)
I've got color transparencies
(Smile)
I've got black and white
(Smile)
Smile For The Camera
You know that
(Smile)
Cameras never ever lies
(Smile)
I've been watching you with (Smile) telephoto eyes
(Smile)
Smile for the Camera
You know that
(Smile)
Camera is my private eye
(Smile)
I've been watching you
With (smile) eager hungry eyes for some time
