So beautiful
She got the lingerie that I picked out for her
And tonight I'm a be the photographer (uh)
Strike a pose, hold that there
Love it when you smile
Just one more and I make this clear

I'll make it worth the while
Hold up, stay right there
Let me adjust the camera focus
Refocus. Time for you to get focused
Love it when you posing like that
Let me get my camera baby I'll be right back
Taking Pictures
And the shoots we'll taking
Oh, it's making me aroused
For the love we'll be making
Just strike a pose and pause
Taking Pictures
Take my hand and let my guide you
Let me show you what this photo-shoots bout
Cause girl its no doubt
That I know what you can and can't do
And all I need from you is the best right now
I tryna hold myself from kissing on her
Touching her feeling her
Makes me want to got to work
And I'm not really for that type of concerns
But I think it's to late
Cause I yearn for your return, baby
Love it when you posing like that (I Love it)
Let me get my camera baby I'll be right back (Be right back)
Taking Pictures (I'll be right back you see)
Taking Pictures
And the shoots we'll taking
Oh, it's making me aroused
For the love we'll be making
Just strike a pose and pause
Taking Pictures
