On the Radio lyrics

Someone found the 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

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'd been feeling over you

But they said it really loud and said it on the air

On the radio

Oh, on the radio

Oh, on the radio

Oh

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 want to hear is that you love me still

And that you think, you'll be coming home real soon

Oh, he kinda a made me feel proud when I heard him say

You couldn't find the words to say it for yourself

And now in my heart I know, I can say what I really mean

Because they said it really loud, they said it on the air

On the radio

Oh, on the radio

Oh, on the radio

Oh

Now if you think that love isn't found on the radio

Then tune right in you may find the love lost

Because now I'm sitting here with the man I sent away long ago

He found, he really lied, he said, he really lied

On the radio

Oh, on the radio

Oh, on the radio

Oh
