Play it like the record, I wanna hear you
Play it like the record, love it when you
Play it like the record, I need you to
Play it like the record

Here I am at your big show
Now I grew up with your records you know
Play me that guitar solo
Note for note, like the record yeah

Spun your album one thousand times
Made a recordin’ of it in my mind
So tonight would you be so kind
Would you, play it like the record yeah

Play it like the record, I wanna hear you
Play it like the record, love it when you
Play it like the record, I need you to
Play it like the record

I like the rhythm of the breakbeat drum
I like the 9 on the G minor strum
I want to hear it, like it was sung
On your record yeah

If you don’t want my objection
Take my advice and direction
Don’t you change what’s pure perfection
Play it like the record yeah

Play it like the record, I wanna hear you
Play it like the record, love it when you
Play it like the record, I need you to
Play it like the record

I began to dream, at an early age
That it was me, playin’ on the stage
Playing your songs, I learned them all by ear
Ah tonight, I want to hear

Play it like the record, I wanna hear you
Play it like the record, love it when you
Play it like the record, I need you to
Play it like the record

Play it like the record, I wanna hear you
Play it like the record, love it when you
Play it like the record, I need you to
Play it like the record!
