I've been waiting by the radio for someone like you But the people that are calling in today are few and far between You were listening Their words are dull their syllables slow But every day I have to call into this show Last week I decided to give it a go And I caught your ear when I said [Chorus] "I'm a man who sits at his desk So I guess I've got nothing to lose at this request I want a girl who doesn't like to dress to impress A girl with a radio heart A girl with a radio heart We've never met but we've never been apart A girl with a radio heart" I took a risk and gambled on a voice I didn't know Turned up my lonely radio I leave my job, sell what I own For someone who knows what the radio knows Expose what the radio knows I've been waiting by the radio for so long Then you tuned in, not listening Then I caught your ear when I said [Chorus] I want a girl who doesn't like to dress to impress [Repeat: x3] A girl with a radio heart A girl with a radio heart We've never met but we've never been apart A girl with a radio heart A girl with a radio heart A girl with a radio heart
