Lyrics
Stayed up late hittin record
Our love soon sealed
Walkman captured my soul
How my heart feels
Between the tracks
I whispered your name
Romeos love confession
Not another high school game
Every word was for you
Teenage passion so true
I gave the wrong hands the tape
My hearts secrets loose
This was my Mixd Tape
Our future love on rewind
Meant for you
But your teacher pressed play this time
Now the whole class is breathless
She swears its fate
The school janitors words
Just my Mixd Tape
She heard my voice
Through the chalkdust air
Wait those were my words
I put them there
Their hearts melted at first sight
The whole school stops to stare
Then there was me heartbroken fool
Life aint fair
Every song was the truth
Every note Id choose
And now my mix tangled
True love way off cue
That was my Mixd Tape
Your Love on the line
My heart only for you
Your teacher thought it was a sign
Now the whole schools singin
Not a simple twist of fate
All from a crazy little Mixd Tape
This ones for you
My heart told in songs
Forever true
Wait a minute wrong tape
What did I do
Mixd Tape
Mixd Tape
Play it loud
Dont stop the tape
That was my Mix Tape
My secrets confessed
The whole damn world
Knows it was Your Love I pressed
Meant just for you babe
The storys clear
Now everybodys singin
My whispers your ear
Mixd Tape
Mixd Tape
Play it loud
Dont stop the tape
That was my Mix Tape
My soul on the line
The whole damn school
My words your hearts mine
Now youre here beside me
After all this time
Were forever together
On that Mixd Tape
Mixd Tape
Mixd Tape
Play it loud
Dont stop the tape
Our janitors marrying your teacher
Oh cant you tell
Just my words my soul
Casting loves wild spell
Now everyones listening
Mixd Tapes everywhere
True love world peace
Our storys in the air
That was my Mixd Tape
My secrets confessed
That was my Mixd Tape yeah yeah yeah
Love on the line no escape
Still singin out loud from my Mixd Tape
