Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Someone found a letter you wrote me on the radio
And they told the world just how you felt
It must've 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-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 feelin' over you
But they said it really loud, they said it on the air
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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-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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Sending in a letter to them that I love you too
If you hear it, maybe you will know
When you hear them read the line about love's return on the radio
You'll think about the two of us and you'll come home
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
If you knew just how I felt, why'd you make me wait?
Life goes on and on while you play with my heart
Don't hold out any longer 'cause now I know how you really feel
'Cause I heard it really loud, they said it on the air
[Chorus]
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
Radio
[Bridge]
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
The only thing I know, whoa-oh-oh-oh
I'll be on my 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, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 4]
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-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
[Chorus]
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, whoa-oh-oh-oh
The only thing I know, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Is my radio, whoa-oh-oh-oh
On the radio
