"Smile for the camera". performer: Rick Springfield. I see you standin out there in the hall. you seem so nervous waiting for his call. I focus on you and reach for the lens. the shutter snaps again. Chorus:. Smile for the camera you know the camera never ever lies. I've been watching you with eager hungery eyes. for sometime. I hold my lens in the middle of the night. Visions of you dancing in the strobe light. Up on the wall is a picture or two. of someone who looks like you. Smile for the camera you know the camera is my private eye. I got color transparent. I got Black and White. Smile for the camera you know the camera never ever lies. I've been watching you with telephoto eyes. Smile Smile for me..... Won'tcha smile for the camera. Won'tcha smile for the..click click click click. Smile for the camera X5.......... Chorus:. ".
