  • 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.

    Whoa 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
    On the radio
    Whoa, oh, oh

    Now, 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 comin' home real soon

    Whoa, oh, yeah, yeah
    And it made me feel proud when I heard you say
    You couldn't find the words to say it yourself
    And now in my heart I know I can say what I really feel
    'Cause they said it really loud, they said it on the air

    On the radio
    Whoa, oh, oh
    On the radio
    Whoa, oh, oh
    On the radio
    Whoa, oh, oh
    On the radio
    Whoa oh oh
    On the radio

    If you think that love isn't found on the radio
    Well tune right in you made find the love you lost
    'Cause now I'm sitting here with the man I sent away long ago
    It sounded really loud , they said it really loud

    On the radio
    Whoa, oh, oh
    On the radio
    Whoa, oh, oh
    On the radio
    Whoa, oh, oh
    On the radio
    Whoa, oh, oh
