Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love on the air, I keep transmitting
But reception is hazy
I don't get an answer
Keep sending it faster
Always knew it was crazy
To put my love on the air
[Verse 2]
No one will hurt me again
No one will cause me to lie
No one control me by pain
No one will cause me to cry
I was looking for love in wandering eyes
Like a ship trying to fix on a beacon
I learned how to sigh
On the ribbon and wires
It's a habit that's so hard to weaken
[Verse 3]
No one will ever manipulate
Make me promise to do or die
No one can make me hesitate
What can I lose if they try?
I was looking for love like the very first time
Didn't realise love never left me
Contradicted, conspired, I connived and designed
Nothing on earth could arrest me
[Verse 4]
(Reception is hazy)
When you put your love on the air
(Always knew it was crazy)
To put my love on the air
(But I only communicate)
When I put my love on the air
(You don't have to consummate)
Love on the air
[Verse 5]
No one will hurt me again
No one will cause me to lie
No one control me by pain
No one will cause me to cry
I was looking for love in wandering eyes
Like a ship trying to fix on a beacon
I learned how to sigh
On the ribbon and wires
It's a habit that's so hard to weaken
[Verse 6]
I put my love on the air
Love
