Someone found a letter you wrote me, on the radio
                                       
And they told the world just how you felt
                                               
It must have fallen out of a hole in your old brown overcoat

They never said your name
                             
But I knew just who they meant
                                                  
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 feeling over you
     
But they said it really loud
                             
They said it on the air On the radio
                   
Whoa, oh, oh On the radio
                  
Whoa oh oh oh On the radio
                    
Whoa, oh, oh  Whoa, oh, 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 wanna hear is that you love me still
                                              
And that you think you'll be comin' home real soon

Whoa
                                             
And it made me feel proud when I heard you say
                                              
You couldn't find the words to say it all 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
                   
Whoa, oh, oh On the radio
                  
Whoa oh oh oh On the radio
                    
Whoa, oh, oh  Whoa, oh, oh

SOLO

                                               
If you think that love isn't found on the radio
                                            
Well tune right in you may find the love you lost
                                                 
'Cause now I'm sitting here with the man I sent away long ago
                                       
He found he really lied he said he realy lied
        
On the radio
                  
Whoa oh oh oh On the radio
                    
Whoa, oh, oh  Whoa, oh, oh
