Lyrics: “On the Radio” by Donna Summer
Someone found a letter you wrote me on the radio And they told the world just how you felt It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat They never said your name, but I knew just who they meant
Whoa-oh-oh-oh I was so surprised and shocked, and I wondered, too If, by chance, you heard it for yourself I never told a soul just how I’ve been feeling over you But they said it really loud, they said it on the air
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Now, now, don’t it kinda strike you sad when you hear our song? Things are not the same since we broke up last June The only thing that I wanna hear is that you love me still And that you think you’ll be comin’ home real soon
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Yeah, it kinda made me feel proud when I heard him say You couldn’t find the words to say it yourself And now in my heart, I know I can say what I really feel ‘Cause they said it really loud, they said it on the air
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh On the radio
If you think that love isn’t found on the radio Then tune right in, you may find the love you lost ‘Cause now I’m sitting here with the man I sent away long ago It sounded really loud, he said it really loud
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh On the radio
