The Radio — текст песни (Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show)

(Shel Silverstein/D. Loccorriere)

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.....
