Love on the air I keep transmitting but reception is hazy I don't get an answer Keep sending it faster Always knew it was crazy To put my love on the air. No one will hurt me again No one will cause me to lie No one will control me by pain No one will cause me to cry I was looking for love In wandering eyes Like a ship trying to fix on a beacon I learned how to sigh On the ribbon and wires It's a habit that's so hard to weaken No one will ever manipulate Make me promise to do or die No one can make me hesitate What can I lose if they try I was looking for love Like the very first time Didn't realise love never left me Contradicted - conspired I connived and designed Nothing on earth could arrest me. Reception is hazy When you put your love on the air Always knew it was crazy To put my love on the air But I only communicate When I put my love on the air You don't have to consummate Love on the air
