For The Record (Cover)

(Music & Lyrics: M. Carey, B. Cox, A.Shropshire)

For the record
You oughta know
You wasn't thinking
When you let me go

But whatever
That's how it goes
Win some you lose some
And others you hold in your heart

Why it gets so hard
Tears you all apart
Even though you try to let go
No, no, no

Suddenly you're here
And it's so surreal
And I don't know
What the deal

Cause when I'm looking in your eyes
Feels like the first time
Give me one good reason why
We can't just press rewind
I don't wanna spend my life
Thinking what it could've been like
If we had another try (one time)
Like back in the day
That look on your face
Feels like, the first time

Them other irregularities
They can't compete with [OP]
The whole entire world can tell
That you love yourself some me ;)

People see you know
Asking all about
Me and how they always thought we
Were so perfect together

Let's re-write the end
Start over again
And it's gon go better now

Cause when I'm looking in your eyes
Feels like the first time
Give me one good reason why
We can't just press rewind
I don't wanna spend my life
Thinking what it could've been like
If we had another try (one time)
Like back in the day
That look on your face
Feels like, the first time

For the record
"You'll always be a part of me"
No matter what you do
And for the record
Can't nobody say
I didn't give "my all" to you

And for the record
I told you "underneath the stars"
That you "belong" to me
For the record
It's obvious that
We just "can't let go" of us, "honey"

Cause when I'm looking in your eyes
Feels like the first time
Give me one good reason why
We can't just press rewind
I don't wanna spend my life
Thinking what it could've been like
If we had another try (one time)
Like back in the day
That look on your face
Feels like, the first time

Cause when I'm looking in your eyes
Feels like the first time
Give me one good reason why
We can't just press rewind
I don't wanna spend my life
Thinking what it could've been like
If we had another try (one time)
Like back in the day
That look on your face
Feels like, the first time

For the record, baby
Now you know

hi there...im a fan of yours from the Philippines...i've seen most of your videos on youtube...and two of your cover I mostly sing in the bathroom - 'I stay in love' and 'for the record'

Keep creating music!

OP means? Are you down with OPP? Wow, this must've been a very special person and extremely stupid to have let you go - wow...lol, who would do such a thing - they probably weren't thinking or had something else going on with them....great pick!
