[English]

My heart's a stereo

It beats for you, so listen close

Hear my thoughts in every no-ote

Make me your radio

And turn me up when you feel low (turn it up a little bit)

This melody was meant for you (right there)

Just sing along to my stereo (Gym Class Hero, baby)

If I was just another dusty record on the shelf

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

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

Like it yikky yeah, check it 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

Just keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune

And know my hearts a stereo that only plays for you

My heart's a stereo

It beats for you, so listen close

Hear my thoughts in every no-ote

Make me your radio

And turn me up when you feel low

This melody was meant for you

Just sing along to my stereo

(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) to my stereo

(Oh, oh-oh, oh) just sing along to my stereo

Let's go!

If I was an old-school, fifty-pound boombox (remember them?)

Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk?

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

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 (never know)

I think I finally found a note to make you understand

If you can hit it, sing along and take me by the hand

Just keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune

You know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you

My heart's a stereo

It beats for you, so listen close (listen)

Hear my thoughts in every no-ote

Make me your radio (come on)

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

This melody was meant for you

Just sing along to my stereo (sing along like)

(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) to my stereo

(Oh, oh-oh, oh) just sing along to my stereo

I only pray you'll never leave me behind (never leave me)

Because good music can be so hard to find (so hard to find)

I take your hand, hold it closer to mine (yeah)

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-ote

Make me your radio

And turn me up when you feel low

This melody was meant for you

Just sing along to my stereo

(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh) to my stereo (it's your boy, Travie)

(Oh, oh-oh, oh) just sing along to my stereo (yeah)
