The Radio

Dr. Hook - The Radio



Lately, I've been givin' everything I've got to feeling alone

Baby you got me livin' one of them hard luck songs on the radio

Oh and I know, if I change the station I'll get the same song

Hope it ain't on the top too long



'Cause I really couldn't take it but they kept on playin' it

It's too unhappy and too close to home

I don't want to hear it but the singer keeps singin' that song



I gave you my love, you denied it

Then I gave you my life, but you wouldn't stay

And I hope you will return it to me someday

I gave you my love, you denied it

Then I gave you my life but you threw it away

And I hope you will return it to me someday



Some days I just sit around and kind of dream and watch the rain

Or I'll pick up some ol' magazine of yours that I forgot to throw away

Then I'll sleep a little or walk the floor, I'll smoke a lot more than I did before

I'll call somebody I used to know, just to try to stay away from that radio



'Cause I really can't take it when they keep on playin' it

It's so unhappy and so close to home

I don't want to hear it but the singer keeps singin' that song



I gave you my love, you denied it

Then I gave you my life, but you wouldn't stay

And I hope you will return it to me someday

I gave you my love, you denied it

Then I gave you my life but you threw it away

And I hope you will return it to me someday



I gave you my love, you denied it

Then I gave you my life but you threw it away.....
