[Verse 1]
The feeling's taken hold
Disappointed by every single pose
She doesn't look right to your eye
Does just what you say
And is it any better?
The more you shoot, the more she slips away

[Chorus]
You took a picture of a person
You know when it's right
And you're still wondering if she's worth it
You know, I know, you know

[Verse 2]
You only see the best
Forgetting all the rest
Da, da-da, da-da
Rendering an image for the press
You garner all the fame
But does it really matter?
There's something always missing in the frame

[Interlude]
And down you go
Around you go again
Down you go, around you go
And down you go again
Around you go
Around you go again
[Bridge]
Call yourself a photographer
Dizzy days of wine and laughter
You can see, open the aperture
And now the lights are brighter
Moving close, the end grows tighter
Can't rebel, open the aperture
Our beauty, fatal minded
Turned into an advertisement
Fantasies, open the aperture
These photographs reflect
An emptiness you can't detect
There's no light now, open the aperture

[Chorus]
You took a picture of a person
You know when it's right
And you're still wondering if she's worth it
You know, I know, you know
You took a picture of a person
You know when it's right
And you're still wondering if she's worth it
You know, I know, you know
Oh
