## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Hook: Alex Fitts]

So turn me on

You set me free

Just look inside your speakers

And there you'll see me

[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]

Uh, there I go

Two clicks north of the Bronx

Whoever thought she would of found love in a stereo

2 headphones and a box

She picks me up, every morning on the walk to school

She ain't worried bout these other little kids

'Cause she told me everyday you sayin' something new

And you always got the illest kicks

Boom Boom tat

And she takes me out, just so the block can see

Told me she wanted the world to know

So she makes me loud now the whole block wants me

But I'm all hers and she's all mine

And even though her parents don't like me inside

Whenever her daddy comes around, we just hide

'Cause she doesn't wanna sleep without me that's why

I said

[Hook: Alex Fitts]

So turn me on

You set me free

Just look inside your speakers

And there you'll see me

[Hook: Alex Fitts]

So turn me on

You can set me free

Just look inside your speakers

And there you'll find me

There you'll find me

[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]

Yeah, and she loves my sound, It's why I'm always around

Voted the most popular girl in the class

'Cause whenever were together we attract the crowd

Yeah and she got me down

Touches the right place when I'm fizzling out

And all of her friends love me

'Cause at all of the parties, I make 'em bounce b-bounce

Uh, if I play the right song, she might take it off

Meaning her clothes

You know I love it when she keeps the lights on, play the music soft

Yeah, so that's what I do, anything for my boo

But when I hear the knock on the door

I shhh-shut up, 'cause I know my cue

But when they gone, I'm back at it

She loves this song, so I blast it

Dad gets home, I hide in the cabinet

Flip my switch like gymnastics

Uh and I'm a always be there for you, you just gotta find my plug

I'll be right here waiting for you in the middle of these speakers

If you ever wanna find my love

So

[Hook: Alex Fitts]

So turn me on

You set me free

Just look inside your speakers

And there you'll see me

[Hook: Alex Fitts]

So turn me on

You set me free

Just look inside your speakers

And there you'll see me

[Verse 3: Machine Gun Kelly]

Uh, and she gets older but I stay the same

And as she grows up, her opinions change

Now she's off at college

Where there's other ones like me

I just hope that one day she'll come back

To hear another song from me

But till then, I just sit in her room and collect dust

Thinkin' about us

Waitin' for the day she'll push my buttons

And I feel her touch and get that rush

But I'm not what she needs, so I power down

Then right at that moment where I was found

Hello, her little sister walked in

Knew it was love at first sight

Caught a little twinkle in her eye when I made a sound

She snuck back in the same night

And even though she knows that she wasn't allowed

I know all she wanna do is be near me

One thing is that I felt the same

Wanna tell her but she can't hear me

So so I said

[Hook: Alex Fitts]

So turn me on

You set me free

Just look inside your speakers

And there you'll see me
