On The Radio Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(Giorgio Moroder/Donna Summer) 

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 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 

'Cause 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 

'Cause 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...
