One, two
Let's check the record
See what it say
Seem like your girlfriend
Was in my bed (In my bed)
She called me first
No rendezvous
This sounds like drama
Now whatchu gon do?
The record
Check the record now
The record
She tried to tell me: I tried to tell you
As though I cared
She said you missed her
And now she's scared
You can't mislead 'em
Even though she's young
She wants her freedom
She wants to run
Mm, it's about, it's about
The rеcord
Let's check the rеcord now
Check, check the record
We take her places
She needs new faces
Out of the choir
She plays with fire
She'll never be a mama
If she stay wit you
This sounds like drama
But whatchu gonna do?
(Whatchu gonna do?)
If it makes her happy
Can it be that bad?
Like Sheryl said
It might be the most favorite mistake I've ever had
Let's check the record
See what it say
Seem like your girlfriend
(What?)
Was in my bed
I don't think so
I don't think so
You know what?
You better check, check, check
The record
It's about, it's about
The record now
Ooh
Yeah
The record
The record now
The record
