## Lyrics

My heart's a stereo

It beats for you, so listen close

Hear my thoughts in every no-o-ote

Make me your radio (yeah, a-ha)

And turn me up when you feel low

This melody was meant for you

So sing along to my stereo

(Gym Class Heroes baby!)

If I was just another dusty record on the shelf

Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else?

If I ask you to scratch my back, could you manage that?

Like get Rihanna, chicka, Travie, I can handle that

Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks

It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks

I used to, used to, used to, used to, now I'm over that

'Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts

If I could only find a note to make you understand

I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand

Keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune

And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you

Heh heh heh

My heart's a stereo

It beats for you, so listen close

Hear my thoughts in every no-o-ote (Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on)

Make me your radio (Uh huh)

And turn me up when you feel low (Turn it up)

This melody was meant for you

So sing along to my stereo

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh, to my stereo

Oh oh oh oh, so sing along to my stereo (Let's go)

If I was an old school fifty-pound boombox ('member them?)

Would you hold me on your shoulder wherever you walk?

Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops? (turn it up)

And crank it higher every time they told you to stop?

And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me

When you have to purchase mad D batteries

Appreciate every mixtape your friends make

You never know, we come and go like on the interstate

I think finally found a note to make you understand

If you can hear this, sing along and take me by the hands

Keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune

And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you

My heart's a stereo

It beats for you, so listen close

Hear my thoughts in every note

O-oh

Make me your radio

And turn me up when you feel low

This melody was meant for you

So sing along to my stereo

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, to my stereo

Oh oh oh oh, so sing along to my stereo

I only pray you'll never leave me behind

Because good music can be so hard to find

I'll take your hand and hold it closer to mine

Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind

My heart's a stereo

It beats for you, so listen close

Hear my thoughts in every no-o-ote

Make me your radio

And turn me up when you feel low

This melody was meant for you

So sing along to my stereo

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, to my stereo

Oh oh oh oh, so sing along to my stereo

It's ya boy Travie

Gym Class Heroes, baby!

So sing along to my stereo

Yeah!
