Stay up late with the radio on Waiting for the DJ to play that song The one that makes your heart beat in time Those first notes send shivers down your spine You grew up tall and you grew up fast Had some bad days, but you know they won't last Oh, life is full of winding turns So you play that song when it starts to hurt Out and in that record spins The needles still going strong Good or bad, happy or sad You're always gonna sing along Years went by and you didn't try Met a nice man who didn't make you cry Counted down until your wedding day Then you played that song and danced the night away You started your lives happily Thought that you might try to start a family When you got the news you never felt such pride So you played that song for the life inside Out and in that record spins The needles still going strong Good or bad, happy or sad You're always gonna sing along Stay up late with your headphones on Thinking back on every time you played that song Even now your heart skips a beat It's your dearest friend playing on repeat Out and in that record spins The needles still going strong Good or bad, happy or sad You're always gonna sing along Good or bad, happy or sad You're always gonna sing along
