Gym Class Heroes ft. Adam Levine

歌詞の中にTravie McCoyが元彼女に言及している箇所があります。

「それから謝っときたいんだけど　ところどころ音が飛ぶんだよ
　前の彼女がつけた傷なんだ」

彼の元の彼女はあのKaty Perryなのですが、本当にそんなにひどい扱いだったんでしょうか？そうでないといいんですけどね。

My heart’s a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note o-oh
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
So sing along to my stereo

If I was just another dusty record on the shelf
Would you blow me off and play me just like everybody else
If I asked you to scratch my back, could you manage that
Like yikky yea 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 hands
To keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart’s 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
Make me your radio
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

If I was an old-school, fifty pound boombox
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
I think finally found a note to make you understand
If you can hit it, sing along and take me by the hand
T’ keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart’s 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
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 (never leave me)
Because good music can be so hard to find (so hard to find)
I’ll take your head 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 note o-oh
Make me your radio
‘N 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
