Girl In The Life Magazine
Boyz II Men · Evolution/II [2009]
That I used to keep
Carried her 'round in the back of my pocket
She was always with me
I imagined 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 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 the 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
She says she's been looking for me
And so the story ends well
We end up together
The girl in the Life magazine
Me and the girl in the Life....magazine
