I fell in love with the girl in the picture
That I used 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
The girl in the Life magazine

The first time I 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 whole evening with me
And oh how she hated to go
Back to her picture
The girl in the Life magazine

All of my friends used to laugh
Said I was certifiably mad
´Till the day 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
The girl in the Life magazine
