[Chorus:] Pilot of the airwaves Here is my request You don't have to play it But I hope you'll do your best I've been listening to your show On the radio And you seem like a friend to me Or a record of your choice I don't mind, I'd be happy just to hear your voice Saying this is for the girl Who didn't sign her name Yes, she needs a dedication just the same [Bridge:] Late at night I'm still listening Don't waste my time chasing sleep People say I look weary But that's just the company I keep Ooooh, you make the nighttime race Ooooh, I don't need to see your face You're sounding good (Sounding good) Sounding good to me [Chorus] [Bridge] You're sounding so good to me [Chorus] Oh, I've been listening to your show on the radio And you seem like a friend to me [Chorus]
