Uh, Ciara, '08
Click, click, click, flash
Goes, yeah!
I know you probably think a girl like me is oh, so vain
Because I love it when the camera man screams out my name (uh huh)
He says "Hey girl, look here, turn left, right, up, down, pose! "
[Bridge]
I feel so pretty, picture perfect, beautiful (picture perfect, beautiful)
Don't you feel pretty? Like your putting on a show? (a, a, a show)
And the cameras go
[Chorus]
Click, click, click, flash
(Ya, ya, ya beautiful baby) And the cameras go
Click, click, click, flash
(Ya, ya, ya beautiful baby)
Now I'm feeling like a queen, I love your eyes on me
My hair is blowing in the wind I'm so sexy and free
And when my make-up is on I feel like a rock-star
The sun is shining on me oh yes, I'm living large
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Snap, snap, freeze, pose, look back, look back
Man, I ain't never seen a girl walk like that (yeah like that)
(Uh, let's go!)
I got my Kodak acts to magic, I grab it and I click and flash
They grab they camera phone, whenever I be switching pass
So ultra-fabulous, my jeans, my jeans, they fit me crazy!
Them boys be yelling out "You beautiful baby! "
[Bridge]

It is. I was gonna state that in my comment; but, I forgot. Ciara's voice, and this song is so perfect for the soundtrack. I love how her voice can transition from R&B to Crunk&B to Opera to Pop. Go Ci Ci
