The Radio - Dr. Hook

Lately, I’ve been givin', everything I’ve got, to feelin' 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

(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

(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 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

(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

(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

(My love)

You denied it

Then I gave you my life but you threw it away

And I hope
