  • Oh oh, oh oh
    You liked me 'til you heard my shit on the radio
    Well I hate to say but pop ain't going solo
    You liked me 'til you heard my shit on the radio
    But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no

    You liked me 'til you seen me on your TV
    Well if you're so low below then why you watching
    You say good things come to those who wait
    Well I've been waiting a long time for it

    I remember the days
    When I was so eager to satisfy you
    And be less then I was
    Just to prove I could walk beside you

    Now that I've flown away
    I see you've chosen to stay behind me
    And still you curse the day
    I decided to stay true to myself

    You say your quest is to bring it higher
    Well I never seen change without a fire
    But from your mouth, I have seen a lot of burning
    But underneath I think it?s a lot of yearning

    Your face, the colors change from green to yellow
    To the point where you can't even say hello
    You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out
    Like that's what you'd expect from me, like that's what I'm about

    It's so much easier to stay down there
    Guaranteeing you're cool
    Than to sit up here exposing myself
    Trying to break through

    Than to burn in the spotlight
    Turn in the spitfire
    Scream without making a sound
    Be up here and not looking down
    Because we?re all afraid of heights

    Myself, myself, myself
    Myself, myself, myself
    Myself, myself, myself
    Myself, myself, myself
    Myself, myself, myself
    Myself, myself, myself
    Myself, myself, myself
    Myself, myself, myself Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnHot track, I love how blunt the lyrics are. My fave song from Whoa Nelly!
  • Brian from Edmonton, CanadaOn the album, this song is actually called "S*** On The Radio".

    For obvious reasons, the profanity was omitted from the song title when it was commercially released as a single.

    During the song, Furtado also uses the phrase "S*** On The Radio" several times. For the single version, the word "S***" is blanked out in all instances it is used.
