“Picture This” was a group effort. Jimmy Destri, the principal songwriter, says that the song is his “verse music, Chris' chorus music, and Debbie’s lyrics”, adding: “We all had little pieces of one another’s songs, just throwing in bits. I always wrote with the band in mind”(Against the Odds, 67).

[Verse 1]
All I want is a room with a view
A sight worth seeing, a vision of you
All I want is a room with view, oh-oh
I will give you my finest hour
The one I spent watching you shower
I will give you my finest hour, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
All I want is a photo in my wallet
A small remembrance of something more solid
All I want is a picture of you
[Chorus]
Picture this - a day in December
Picture this - freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only oh-oh
Picture this - a sky full of thunder
Picture this - my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you, oh yeah
[Verse 3]
All I want is 20-20 vision
A total portrait with no omissions
All I want is a vision of you, oh-oh
[Chorus]
If you can picture this - a day in December
Picture this - freezing cold weather
You got clouds on your lids and you'd be on the skids
If it weren't for your job at the garage
If you could only oh-oh
Picture this - a sky full of thunder
Picture this - my telephone number
One and one is what I'm telling you
Get a pocket computer
Try to do what you used to do yeah
Picture This was written by Debbie Harry & Jimmy Destri & Chris Stein.
Picture This was produced by Mike Chapman.
