Carey, Mariah - 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

    It's my first time listening to this and I can already see that she referred a lot of her songs in this song

  32. V.... L....

    The One and Only MC

  34. M.... T....

    🎶 let’s rewrite the end, start over again and it’s gon’ go better now “ 😩

  35. R.... W....

    I wonder who she is singing 🎤 about in this song!

    R.... W....

    Derek Jeter! For sure. She’s written several songs for their romance.

  36. F.... B....

    who can tell the front for this lyrical clip? its nice

  37. A.... F....

    2018...this songs is still fresh...love u mimi...thank God for ur music

  38. S.... ....

    why in the world did they replace every “s” in the song with a “z?” It frustrates me a lot...

    S.... ....

    Scarletlily This was the style way back in 2008.

  39. R.... L....

    This should have been number ONE

  40. M.... S....

    what record it was fake as Millie Vanile.Sad 4 him l

  41. B.... L....

    underrated bop

  42. B.... M....

    That octave jump from C4-C5 in the line "when I'm looking in your eyes feels LIKE..." Mariah is a vocal olympian.

    B.... M....

    the vocal color there is wow

  43. W.... t....

    I over how she adds her other songs to this one

  44. W.... t....

    Only the real ones know how good ALL her albums are L4L

    W.... t....

    Violet_Voss ikr?! This should have been THE single instead of “I’ll be loving you long time”

    Maybe she should release this now instead... 🤔

  45. S.... A....

    Another Mariah masterpiece

  46. H.... O....

    The lyrics though the “z” instead of the “s” is irritating me.

    H.... O....

    Yeah right. Ugh

  47. s.... j....

    Still listening 2018...masterpiece..

  48. Y.... M....

    Like. Music

  49. N.... M....

    should have been released as a god damn single. what were island records playing at?! if they'd have marketed this album properly she'd of had more #1s than The Beatles

    N.... M....

    Natasha Moore ikr?!

  50. P.... E....

    i love u butterfly

  51. N.... M....

    Mariah at her finest. I miss the 2000s :(

  52. F.... W....

    😘😘😘😘😘

    F.... W....

    She's in a league of her own.

  53. C.... ....

    This is really wonderful.

  54. P.... p....

    I saw a comment on one of her other videos saying that MC's songs are too complicated to be number 1s on today's radio. I totally agree. Her harmonies are to die for and are so musical. She's a goddess!

    P.... p....

    Pasquale perrone them basic b*tches only know how to twerk 😂😂💀💀

  55. F.... R....

    I Love her All Albums She's My Fav Singers In this Planettttt..... Nobody Can't Replace Her in My Heart..
