Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am patiently awaiting on you to get dressed girl (yeah)
I'm gonna sit here
While you put your face on,
Playing with your makeup (oh)
Damn you look so good it hurts me (hurts me)
The design of your body is perfect

Oh, yeah

I don't deserve you girl

And I'm like "stop!" (stop)
Let me take a mental shot of this moment, yeah
Oh baby drop everything you're doing right now
And just hold it (hold it)

[Chorus]
Click click click
Pose for me, pose for me
Pose for me, pose for me
My camera loves you

You are fashion
The latest style on the scene girl I mean it (mean it, mean it, yeah)
I am reacting
Losing the cool in my knees
And I'm fining for you (fining for you)

Every time I click I go crazy
You've got the lens in my camera safe
Give me your clothes

Oh, yeah
I don't deserve you girl

And I'm like "stop!" (stop)
Let me take a mental shot of this moment (moment)
Oh baby drop (drop) everything you're doing right now

Click click click
With my Nikon, click with my Sony
Girl I ain't no phony, you know you're the only
One that I dream for, one I pull the cream for
I take a shot of the hottie that I feen for

So make a pose for me, take off your clothes for me
'Cause you and me is the way it's supposed to be
Yeah ma, let me lay you on the sofa, slide a little closer
Fly you to the coast of Jamaica,
Take a shot of you on the beach

Click click click
Flash wind and release
In your summer dress wanna peep
What's beneath there and tell your girl
Vicky that we got our own secret

And I'm like "stop!"
Let me take a mental shot of this moment, yeah
Oh baby, drop, drop
Everything you doin' right now and just hold it
Click click click

Pose for me, pose for me
