don't ruin this record

Used to listen with my sister when we were growin' up

We'd sing out every word into a microphone hairbrush

We'd say whoever was the first to get a ring on their hand

Got dibs on track three

To play for that first dance

These days, I've been listenin' with you

And I'm glad you love it, but whatever you do

Don't ruin this record for me

You'd make a right thing sound wrong

I'm startin' to feel you

In each of these songs

If you scratched up my heart

Like a vinyl it'd be

More than you I'd be losin'

So don't ruin this record for me

If you were to walk away every time I'd listen

All I'd see is you and me dancin' in the kitchen

I'd have to break it right in half or sell it for some change and trade it for a temporary new infatuation

God forbid I hear it on some radio station

Don't ruin this record for me

You'd make a right thing sound wrong

I'm startin' to feel you

In each of these songs

If you scratched up my heart

Like a vinyl it'd be

More than you I'd be losin'

So don't ruin this record for me

Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa

You could make my Mama hate you, run off with someone new

But whatever you do

Don't ruin this record for me

Make a right thing sound wrong

I'm startin' to feel you

In each of these songs

If you scratched up my heart

Like a vinyl it'd be

More than you I'd be losin'

So don't ruin this record for me

Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

More than you I'd be losin'

So don't ruin this record for me
