Mariah Carey - For The Record Lyrics

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 MC.
The whole entire world can tell,
That you love yourself some me.

People see ya 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, baby.
